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

Exactly… and one flea will do it.... Be careful with your Tri Girl... it is so difficult to see/find fleas with their black and tan coats.... This hot weather that we have had over the last few days will bring out the fleas...

my basenji is having rashes also all over her body now she have a lot of bruiss because she keeps on scratching i brought her to the vet and they just told me its because of the matting i dont want them to do skin scraping because she's being campaigned now but maybe i'll ask them to do the test i'm being bothered by it.

What are you feeding her? If it has corn and/or wheat, that most likely is the problem…
But I don't understand your comment from the vet "matting"... what does that mean?
Also, you are not really being fair to your dog by not having the scraping done... showing should not be over the health of your girl... "and" they can scrape on the off show side....

yes agree, if you don't want your b to scraped. try changing the diet first. if it doesn't go away then you'll need to get scrapping done. it might be something else. when my vet scraping on her they though it could be tape worm or ring worm but it wasn't that.

well i the vet scraped her yesterday. its not serious like what you said she's alergic to her food so i changed her diet to solid gold now but the vet also told me to change her crate matting. thanks guys

Hello everyone,
My name is Hotep and I am a 2 1/2 year old Basenji. Over the past four months, I have been getting these bumps under my coat that are very annoying and cause me to itch. I have gone to the vet, but they can't tell me what the cause is. They have prescribed Hydoxyzine and it takes the bumps and itching away, but every two days they reappear. I can’t’ live on these pills and was wondering has anyone else had this same problem?
ps.
I have had my thyroid checked, urinalysis and blood work, but no one has been able to help me -
As noted in this thread, what is she eating?

Congo only gets rashes in the summer. Little tiny red bumps on the inside of his legs. Benadryl and oatmeal baths work for us and then they usually go away in the fall/winter. its usually sagebrush or the grasses and weeds we have around here. It is not his food like everybody says here. We've tried that and the vet says its just allergies to grasses.

Tillo also has a sort of allergie for grasses.. I wonder: is this more common in B's?
