Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • L

    This rash appeared on my B about a month ago. 1st vet trip they said to give Zyrtec & Benadryl. That seemed to help the agitation but didn't clear the rash up. 2nd vet trip they prescribed Prednisone & Cephalexin which really decreased the redness & he stopped licking at the rash. Now at the end of this round of treatment he is beginning to lick at it again. I have made an appointment for a skin test but thought I might get some insights from the B community. Thanks in advance guys!!!![0_1488243663362_20170227_191733_001.jpg](Uploading 100%)

    Where is the rash? In the groin area in the creases of the back legs? If so I have had it with 2 of my basenjis. Last time topagen spray cleared it up In a few days. It always seem to happen in winter. My first basenji got it every year in January. I'm not sure if it's the heat on or the dryness. But that spray worked. Good luck!

    Yeast dermatitis is very common in dogs. Did they do a scrapping of the rash?

    @Maxie: Hi Tommy, My Basenji has that from time to time. Not inside, just on the ear flaps. Some people call it Winter Ears, but I'm not sure what the name of this problem is. Tried many things, but here's what worked for me. Thoroughly cleaned outside of her ears with ear cleaner from a pet store. Let dry, then used olive oil daily until it cleared up. Let me know if that works for you. Yup, it's just on the inside of the flaps. It's going away VERY slowly. I'll try the olive oil treatment…...thanks!

    Poor baby. Also from now on, in addition to the benadryl, I'd give the rabies separated out from the combo and skip the Lepto. Check with your vet and do your own homework about the Lepto though. (But no sense in overloading the immune system with a bunch of vac's at one time.)

    @tanza: Could also be a reaction to some kind of bite… here is another thought... when did he have he last round of shots? But in the end, I think I would take a trip to the Vet... could just be a little ear infection going on... they can and do get yeast infections in the ears.. and I have found that puppies for what ever reason get dirty ears... and slight infections. Kobey had one when he was about 4/5 months old... His second round of puppy shots he got on the 7th of this month. His next round isn't until the 6th of March. I am going to call the vet this afternoon & ask them if we should bring him in. His ears do get really dirty with wax buildup. I have actually used a q-tip (he's gotten a little better) & cleaned them almost every other day in the past week because everytime I look down there I see some buildup. Maybe that itself is another sign that something more is wrong. I will check his paws & rear tonight for any signs of an allergy but I examined him a lot last night (after noticing his ears) & didn't see anything else out of the ordinary.

    Cali had the same thing…so I took her to the Vet on Sat.......they said it was common for puppies. so they gave me Clavamox for the lumps...twice a day also Hydroxyzine for the itching 1 tablet 8-12 hours as needed... and this shampoo Chlorhexiderm Shampoo....2-3 days aweek thats all the info I have..and will let you all know on how things go with that......cause i was going to try Benadryl.
