Belly Rash

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • N

    Our Basenji get rashes on her belly. We've tried to figure out the cause. We have taken her to the vet and even a dermatologist. We have gotten a lot of "could be this could be that," but despite many visits and a lot of money spent... We still don't know the cause.

    We tried a limited diet recommended by the dermatologist... Nope. We've done allergy tests and nothing is conclusive. So our poor dog just has to live with these break outs.

    The dermatologist told us to use Microspore leave on cream when she breaks out to help heal. We've been doing that and for the most part it has been working. But today I applied "one more treatment" to end a 4 day battle with a rash on an area that was mostly heeled and it broke out into hives immediately.

    So I guess that treamnent is out moving forward.

    Hoping someone else has overcome a similar experience and has advice to keep our dog from suffering.

    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?

    @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

    If he still wears the same collar and it is the culprit, it will irritate already raw skin and prevent complete healing. I know the holidays are usually tight for everyone, but perhaps finding a (maybe no-so-stylish) collar made of a completely different material and without dyes would stop the cycle. That's what eventually worked for Elvira, my cat. If it is confined to one spot where there an item directly touches the skin on a regular basis, it sounds more like contact dermatitis to me. Any creams may exacerbate the situation. If it was a food allergy, I would expect a more widespread problem. I would suggest, if he wears a cloth or nylon collar, get a natural leather collar with stainless steel loops rather than coated brass. Since colorful nylon and cloth seem to be the rage right now, it may be a little more difficult to find. The payoff is the leather collar will last much longer than cloth or nylon. If it is felt a cream or ointment must be used, break open a Vitamin E capsule and rub the goo on his rash. It is odorless and if Kiya feels she must be Little Miss Nursemaid, the Vitamin E will benefit her as well.

    @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....
