Took a while for the male basenji to warm up to the female chiuaua. Now they lovers.:eek:

Thanks guys, judging by your posts he's not much different than some. I cannot really up the amount of food he eats, because he'll only eat so much for breakfast and dinner. I like the idea with the eggs thing.

Hope all goes well, goodluck.

Hi guys!
Just wanted to post some pics of 1yr/2 month old Benjamin. He's skinny, and want to know if anyone has seen b's this skinny before. He eats well, Orijen dry food in the morning and a combonation of dry/Eagle Rock Holistic wet in the evening. He's slightly underweight at 19 pounds but seems generally happy. He gets a decent walk/run everyday or goes to the dog park. I find it weird that I can see his ribs, and most b's on here seem more rounded.

Should I have concern?

ya he had no other choice. He just sat there and enjoyed the scenery.

Thanks People!

I took him to the clinic and they gave him a shot of steroid and some prednisone tabs(steriod too). He reckons it was most likely and insect due to the serverity of the reaction and the fact that there hasn't been any changes to his lifestyle. Hopefully he can get some sleep now. It was weird to see him not sleep, he's usually the first one under the covers and the last one to get up in the morning.

Tanza - Thanks for the info. I read on the web that 1 mg per pound so that's why childrens seemed to be applicable. (my basenji is all cock and ribs)
The vet also said that in his experience he finds that benadryl works about 40-50% of the time.

Thanks again for the quick responses and thanks Alex for editing to display picture.

Hey guys, in a matter of an hour, my basenji has went from having an itchy leg, to this mess as you'll seen in the picture below. It is already after midnight so I cannot take him to the vet. I assume he has just had an allergic reaction to something, so I gave him a childrens benadryl. Any ideas?
