Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • iluvmaliI

    We've taken our B's to Cypress Animal Hospital for over 15 years. Dr. Adey is Basenji savvy and he has a wonderful way of telling you what's going on without making you feel like an idiot. What's even better, he's one of the only AAHA Certified vets in the Winter Haven area and his staff is AMAZING. When I call in and give them my name they go "oh the basenji family!". When Bandit was ill Dr. Adey did everything possible for our buddy.. he even made it possible for us to have the medication Bandit needed even if we couldn't afford it. He was a very good vet for Bandit and after he passed on Dr. Adey sent us a card and flowers. It was very special and we always appreciate everything he does for us. We'd never take Mali anywhere else!!!

    It's great to hear a good review of a vet! We know of an excellent emergency/specialty clinic in Largo, a Dr. Oswald , Internist, is amazing and very kind and compassionate. We have had a couple of basenjis over the years that needed his skills, I recommend him if anyone in the Tampa/St. Pete area needs a specialist.

    @elbrant said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: @Saving said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: divisive I guess I'm a dreamer.... but I believe that adults can have discussions and opinions without resorting to name calling and rude remarks. Your input is valuable. Thanks, because it's become a religion as soon as you speak against it people get so offended. The last 3 years has shown that quite clearly @Saving said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: Another friend's dog has a swollen leg at the vaccination site of his booster which is not resolving I"m sorry to hear about your friend's loss and understand the concern about the other friend's swollen leg. I had a similar experience, one of my dog's (not doodle) had a grossly swollen leg following a vet visit. The Vet told me it was cancer and I opted to let her go. Month's later I read online that it could have been the result of an allergic reaction. Please advise your friend to research possible answers before she makes a decision. Will do, a lot of the medication/vaccines cause inflammatory responses so it could just be that, it's still not nice for the dog to have that experience @Saving said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: dry food ... suffering from malnutrition omgosh! That is so scary!! I doubt the big manufacturers would ever allow a real study to see the light of day, but I would love to see one done. Just the thought makes me want to keep feeding my girl human grade foods. Yeah the same here, her research indicated that raw chicken wings were the optimal food and contain pretty much everything needed. I guess if you think of some of the processed crap they have in supermarkets trading as food for humans you can imagine how low the bar can go for pet food.

    @Rebel - Full blood workup including full Thyroid panel (full panel no just what the normal vet workup that is not a full thyroid panel)... as they say make sure that he is in good health. Also what are you feeding him? How much total are you feeding a day? Also with reducing food, add veggies to his food to fill his belly... green beans are good to use... I use Cauliflower and Broccoli... Note also that low normal is typically too low for Basenjis.

    To give you an idea of the contrast between Basenjis and Border Collies, my BC once spit out a pill, I said "Blackie" in a disapproving tone, and he picked it up from the floor and swallowed it!

    I agree with Nemo - as long as a dog's immune system isn't compromised they are unlikely to pick up diseases easily. They can eat the most disgusting things and aren't affected. I know mine eat all sorts of objectionable things whenever they can and are perfectly healthy.
