We are picking up our 4-year old Basenji rescue this coming weekend, and I would like to have a vet lined up for him as soon as possible. In my former life, I worked as a vet tech, so I have a good base of knowledge to help me pick out a good practice, but what I don't know is whether there is a practice in this area that has a good deal of experience with Basenjis. Philly and its burbs are home to lots and lots of vet practices, so a little help in narrowing them down would be very helpful. Thanks!

You would be surprise what the tax is going to hit. I am in the medical equipment business with a manufacturing company and it is amazing what is going to be taxed, down to the smallest little nut and bolt….

Day to day Vet care may not be directly impacted, but for surgery centers/specialists and care involving surgery (which is expensive enough), these costs for procedures will increase.

Something to keep in mind when putting money away for that "rainy day"...

I'm puzzled because if she has the correct pliant skin for a Basenji, it would get fewer wrinkles if she was too fat. I stand to be corrected here but thats what happens to mine!!

I think she looks very good and that she has no need to lose any weight. Her coat is gleaming. Congratulations to you for keeping her in such lovely condition!

I've only ever had to remove ticks from our collies - the Basenjis have never had one but I can understand that you feel the need to give medicine but personally I only give conventional medicine to a Basenji if I (and my vet) consider it totally necessary.

Hey Terry! I'm excited to know Jojo is coming home on Sunday!! Can't wait to meet her. I take Hollie to Callahan Drive Animal Hospital off I-75 North in Knoxville. I have seen two vets there. Dr. James Hilla, DVM is the head vet/owner and Dr Alisha Harbin. They were both thorough with the exam(s) and clearly communicated things to me. They treated me and Hollie exactly like I wanted us to be treated. I too, had been searching for the right
vet(s). I think I have found them!!! They also seem to have basenji expereince. They commented on how calm Hollie was to be a basenji mix. Check out their website, here's the link, http://www.callahandriveanimalhospital.com/default.php
Good luck and let me know when Jojo is ready for visitors!!
