Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • Hi all,

    Jax has been staying with my sister over the last week because of my crazy work schedule. He just turned one. Starting today on day 4 at my sisters house he started getting these red bumps all over him. No changes in food, no known allergies, or medical conditions that may be causing this. He has been acting and eating nornally. No real changes, he is home now and it has only been a few hours but the bumps are still there. Hopefully someone can help me with what these may be?? I plan on taking him to the vet obviously but peace of mind in the meantime would be nice. There are about 15 bumps total, they are behind ears, above eyes, on shoulders, near genitals(not on), and on his knees. I am going to try to upload pictures.

  • I cannot get the pictures to upload. I keep getting an error, but they almost look like pimples without the head

  • Nick, she may use something in her yard or cleaning product. Try wiping him off completely or bathing, and give benedryl.

  • Hope things worked out. Might be chemicals but might also be an insect/spider bite. Would be interesting to know what the vet said.

  • @nick4 Sounds like an allergy or something biting him. For sure the vets and see what they say. Benadryl for sure, as far as I know it does no harm if you dose correctly.

    Benjis Mama, how is your dog? Has he recovered? Did he block again? And have you found any treatments or diet that seemed to help?

    Thanks everyone for your help concerning Seren's torn dew claw. We've just returned from the vet. It wasn't her toe just the nail. Her nail was trimed (pretty deep) and bandaged.She looks so pathetic holding her foot up with the bandage. Hopefully the bandage will stay on at least until tomorrow. A little bit of 'bitter apple' may help. The vet assures me she will be fine. The Basenji Forums folks are the best!

    We did the puppies at 3 wks of age. They would like the babes to be off momm for at least a few hours. I did mine overnight to be sure the only DNA in the mouth was their own. With adults, doing it right when they wake up is the best way to go. Let hte FTA card dry an hour + then package and mail. Do NOT send blood samples for the Fanconi test. You will be asked to order a swab if you do. They are running all the fanconi tests [on live dogs] on swabs ONLY. Jon has requested this via several lists.
