Pain in B Paws
Hello, all sweet basenji owners!
I want to start this post by saying that we have been to the vet multiple times with no clear conclusion. I am wishing to get some feedback from fellow owners, not a diagnosis.
I have a 6-month-old Basenji puppy who is healthy, active, and playful. Over the past 1–2 months, however, she has developed some sort of pain in her front paw. This pain seems to occur 9 times out of 10 right when she wakes up and stretches, followed by a sharp yelp. It usually subsides once she takes a step or two.
We have been to the vet multiple times for examinations, but every time the vet says she seems alright and that nothing is out of the ordinary in the test results. We have tried different medications, and each time they have helped - no yelping occurs while she is on them. However, right after the medication period ends, the pain and yelping start again.
I am starting to get really worried and am just wondering if there are any other Basenji owners with similar experiences and/or suggestions.
