My Valentino had terrible dandruff. His vet said it was due to dry skin. She had me add Goat's milk and coconut oil to his diet. His dandruff lessened dramatically after about a month. The amount of coconut oil (solid or liquid) per day should be no more than 1 teaspoon per 10lbs of body weight. Valentino is about 27 lbs. so I give him about 2.5-3 teaspoons a day. I divide the amount in half and add it too his meals. I feed goat milk rarely because it is so high in calories.
First Basenji, some questions.
-
Hi,
I recently bought my first Basenji, he is just great.
I bought him at 12 weeks old (Yes a little late, but he behaves fine, and socializing very well)
Some questions i had is that he is now 13-14 weeks, his tail is'nt really curled, the first day in the house his tail was very low, but i could understand that because the new environment has to be a little stressfull for a puppy.
The tail is'nt really between his legs anymore, and mostly standing up, though it is not really curled "Basenji style".
I have read that some Basenji's have less curly tails than others.
His 2 brothers who were also still for sale at the breeder did have curled tails, we noticed that the one we picked didn't, but we liked his energy.
And i dont really mind if his tail stays like this because he is an awesome dog, but do you think or know some basenji's just grow their tails curled a litte later?
Attached a photo of how he mostly carry's his tail.Any comment or answer about him will be appreciated
