<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">I've had a long line of used bassets as well as a few bloodhounds since 1982. (Never had a new one.) All came here relatively old except for a couple and all have died of old age in their sleep with the exception of 2 who had cancerous tumors. Other than that never had any significant health problems out of nearly 40+.<br><br>Thanx,<br>

<div><font color="#000080" face="Century Gothic" size="4">I have a 7 y/o and a 3
y/o, both in excellent health. No issues other than the usual nail
clipping, teeth cleaning, vaccinations, heartworm prevention, etc. Oh, and
the occasional splash-and-dunkfest in the bathroom (otherwise known as basset
bath). I don't look for trouble. I read what others post about
their bassets' problems and the remedies and save these posts in a
file I call "basset buddies." I will need this folder, and the fabulous
Drooler advice it contains, in the future as my bassets age. My
opinion? There's nothing like a good old hound dog, especially a basset
hound. :o) Relax. </font></div>

<p></p><font color="black" face="arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: small;" class="Apple-style-span">I'm getting really scared reading all these stories
about Basset's and all their stomach issues. I never had a Basset before, so
I'm getting terrified of all the things I'm reading on this site listing all
the problems these dogs can have! Henry is 4 months old and I'm used to lap
dogs ( poodles and a Bichon of 15 years) and Henry is the first Basset I've
ever owned. Are they sickly dogs? Are they prone to all kinds of different
issues? It's like owning a Toyota; you never have a problem with yours until a
thousand other people have issues with theirs and now you have nothing but
problems with yours! Please tell me that not all Basset's are prone to
illnesses.</span>
