Marks On Jack???

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • Capt_Jack_our_BasenjiC

    Found a couple marks on Jack this morning. Hes been licking them so we put on some Genesis Topical Spray (Triamcinolone Aceronide) ((for hot spots i got it from the vet) and the caged muzzle so he doesnt lick it. But i was wondering what it could be because its not a normal hot spot for sure!!:confused:


    This is the one that DOESNT look like a hot spot


    This is a HUGE hot spot on his belly. Never seen one on him this big before

    Our dog gets a similar reaction on his groin with his food allergies-

    He's allergic to wheat, beef, turkey & grains.

    Has he been eating something out of the norm?

    My boy gets this about this time of year, we use benadryl pills and this makes him not ich, so he stops licking.
    Good luck.

    Also very possible it is a yeast infection.. pretty common… but would require a Vet visit for meds. Also to stop him from licking it you can use Tea Tree Oil around the site... and also it is a good topical medication

    @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.

    @mryltis Read this comment from @morgansc within this post dated May 30, 2019, 7:49 AM. It answers your question. Ideally it is best to wait until age 24 months but no early than 18 months. https://basenjiforums.com/post/177284

    I've never heard of using tea tree oil before. I'll have to give that a try too. With Max, I had to put him in his e collar when I used sprays or creams. With Zoey and Tyler–they don't seem to lick at creams (or sprays once they've dried). An old vet of mine used to put something bitter in sprays to keep dogs from licking after you sprayed--it seemed to work pretty well with Max. He'd take one sniff and wrinkle up his nose.
