    Poor Cali, I hope everything is okay. Keep us posted on what the vet says.

    Basenjis seem to have sensitive skin. One of ours often had rashes as you're describing when he was young. Twice we had to take him to the vet. A couple shots and prescription Benadryl cleared them up. The vet said we could use children's Benadryl as soon as we saw any signs. It also helped with a few wasp stings. You may want to ask your vet about doing the same. If so they can recommend a dosage. Good luck.

    I recently noticed redness around one of my B's neck & I thought it was the chain choke that might be irritating it so I stopped using for a couple of days. Then he developed 3 red bumps (they look like human zits). Not sure what this is?? Any thoughts?

    Maybe I should switch to nylon choke ?

    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.

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

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

    My Teddy had/has what I would call a rash as well. My vet said it is an allergy (he does occasionally lick his paws also) - at first he thought it was a food allergy but it would go away when the spring rains came. It appears to be related to molds and dust mites instead. I give him salmon oil (not the pills but the real oil), freeze his kibble, regularly clean his blankets etc., and give him oatmeal shampoo baths when it really acts up. I also use dermacton cream if his skin gets too dry. We seem to have it under control.

    @hotrodruby: frankee my 3 year old has also recently developed a red rash and blistering on the left side of his groin area and was licking it constantly, not sure what it could be, we put a cone on to prevent him from licking it. will be taking him to the vet tomorrow. not sure if it is a yeast infection or rashe from something else. I would bet a yeast infection

    @obi1 said in Ear Rash. Dog Ear Vasculitis: Do you know of better ear muffs? Obi, I saw a funny looking knitted cap that might fit over Basenji sized ears on etsy.com. I think it would help prevent the ear edges and tips from becoming frostbitten. The shop seems to focus on Cats, but the owner appears to be willing to do special orders. Worth a try....
