Little Lady

Lady had her 3rd shots today and weighed in at just under 13lbs. She’s projected to be around 35lbs full grown. The vet said that’s a small basset hound. Just wondering how big your full grown girl hounds are?

How do I help a basset who gets car sick?

My basset gets car sick. Throw up all over the car type of car sick. I want to be able to take her places, but it ends up not going well every time I try.

The vet gave us a prescription for motion sickness but it doesn’t work all that well. At this point I’m wondering if it’s anxiety more than motion sickness.

She’s 4 and has been like this since we brought her home.

Does anyone have any tips on how to make car rides more enjoyable for my hound?

I don’t have to take her anywhere (outside of regular vet appointments) but I do think she’d enjoy going ot the beach and park. It’s just getting there that’s the problem.

My bassets paw/ankle is not right

My basset is 1 year now and he likes to lean on one paw when he sits down. I’m noticing that the paw he leans on is bending and he is limping. He is in pain I think (I can’t tell he always has the same face and doesn’t make much noise) but he nips me when I try to touch his paw and is very irritated at the moment. He spends most of his time lying down when he used to run around and play all day. I can’t take him to the vet because I’m broke at the moment I don’t know what to do and what exactly is wrong with him. I’m going to insert a picture because he’s too cute not to show.

Hi new to the sub and looking for a pup!

We are looking at breeders and are particularly interested in a pup from Silverstone in Texas. Does anyone have any feedback on them?? We are in Ca. And will need to have the pup shipped from what ever state he is in. Silverstone wants $600 for each pup and only $150 to ship. I have spoken to one gentleman over the phone but still want to be sure that they have a good rep. Thanks In Advance!! I have also posted in the r/Basset just a heads up so it doesn’t look like i’m spamming. Thanks!

He drinks just like sweetie lol (update and story time)

Theo is 8 weeks old now 😭😭 sorry I been quiet, just a lot going on, but here’s a Theo update for everyone! He has no sense of self preservation, last night the tornado sirens were going off while he was outside so I was tasked with going to go get him because he still stumbles as he walks and it was starting to storm really bad so we had to get him back inside and in the basement with everyone else asap. He sees me running towards him and thinks I’m playing a game with him 😭😭 my ankle then decides at that time to act up so I’m chasing after a puppy in the pouring rain with my ankle threatening to give out on me and then I see a tree branch start to break off a tree and I lunge forward and grab him and get hit in the head by a massive branch. Rather it be me than him 100% every time. I make it back into the house, stumbling because I’ve been whacked in the head with a giant branch and Theo isn’t super light anymore, so he’s also getting difficult to carry because he’s always wiggling around when you pick him up now lol. Anyway we get him into the basement with the other dogs and sweetie like howls when she sees him I think she was scared she lost him too. THIS PUPPY IS AN ABSOLUTE HANDFUL AND THOUGHT A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION WAS A GAME. THEO OMG. I wouldn’t trade him for the world, my concussion like symptoms will be worth it every single time for this little rascal. Anyone else have a basset with no sense of self preservation??
