Marks On Jack???

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • 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

  • Thanks!! let you all know!

    @Saving Thanks so much for the information! I am researching further and continuing with her rehab exercises as best I can. Glad you recovered from your spinal injuries.

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

    @Rebel - Full blood workup including full Thyroid panel (full panel no just what the normal vet workup that is not a full thyroid panel)... as they say make sure that he is in good health. Also what are you feeding him? How much total are you feeding a day? Also with reducing food, add veggies to his food to fill his belly... green beans are good to use... I use Cauliflower and Broccoli... Note also that low normal is typically too low for Basenjis.

    @serenjane My Kembe had the freckles on her neck - more pronounced in summer months w/ the sun and also as she aged. I use to call her my little 🦒 giraffe. 😂
