    Did she always have them or did they start after something/some time? Do antihistamines clear the problem?

    @elbrant said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: @Saving said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: divisive I guess I'm a dreamer.... but I believe that adults can have discussions and opinions without resorting to name calling and rude remarks. Your input is valuable. Thanks, because it's become a religion as soon as you speak against it people get so offended. The last 3 years has shown that quite clearly @Saving said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: Another friend's dog has a swollen leg at the vaccination site of his booster which is not resolving I"m sorry to hear about your friend's loss and understand the concern about the other friend's swollen leg. I had a similar experience, one of my dog's (not doodle) had a grossly swollen leg following a vet visit. The Vet told me it was cancer and I opted to let her go. Month's later I read online that it could have been the result of an allergic reaction. Please advise your friend to research possible answers before she makes a decision. Will do, a lot of the medication/vaccines cause inflammatory responses so it could just be that, it's still not nice for the dog to have that experience @Saving said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: dry food ... suffering from malnutrition omgosh! That is so scary!! I doubt the big manufacturers would ever allow a real study to see the light of day, but I would love to see one done. Just the thought makes me want to keep feeding my girl human grade foods. Yeah the same here, her research indicated that raw chicken wings were the optimal food and contain pretty much everything needed. I guess if you think of some of the processed crap they have in supermarkets trading as food for humans you can imagine how low the bar can go for pet food.

    @serenjane My Kembe had the freckles on her neck - more pronounced in summer months w/ the sun and also as she aged. I use to call her my little 🦒 giraffe. 😂

    Had you opened a new bag around the time this started? Sometimes they change ingredients or suppliers of ingredients, which is the way an allergen can sneak in....

    I've never had problems with the Basenjis related to chocolate but of course I don't ever give it to them. However they have stolen the occasional chocolate item but thankfully with no effects. It always gives me a great deal of worry though when this happens. This is a very interesting chart.

    @tanza: Weight size, Keoki could use maybe a pound or two… but nothing at his age that I would worry about .... if he is eating well, I would just continue as you are doing... Thanks. Like I said, and is obvious in her photos, Jazz is just a stockier dog and I'm so used to that; I'm not sure what to do with a lanky one. He does eat very well, and is very active {also unlike Jazz, who has a moderate appetite and is quite sedentary, esp. for a Basenji}. So, I'll call it good for now. Thanks again.
