Red Splotches on Tummy

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • Jasper has irregular red splotches on his tummy where his hair is the thinnest. They don't seem crusty or infected. He's not licking or paying any attention to them. Advice?

  • does he lay in the grass? ant bites or sensitivity to the grass on the skin, ever sit on the grass yourself and get those funny red spots and or indentions? maybe the same thing or him laying on a rug that has been cleaned with something he may be allergic to? If they do not clear up in a day or two or get worse; definitely see a Vet!

    Again, research has disproven it… and Karen Becker is hooey.

    We did a biopsy a week into it and it was not cancerous, so waiting for the bump to go away was the only other option. I though surgery would be too intrusive in the nose area. Kiya had to endure two weeks of wearing the cone day and night to prevent her from scratching her nose. She seems to get all kinds of things around her nose, just recently she got bitten by a bee nosing around in the grass and was back into the cone for a week.

    Vet said that he might experience fainting spells. I'm assuming that if blood is unhealthy, it can't do its job properly. Things like carry oxygen, nutrients and toxins to the appropriate organs. I'm hoping the best case is he will go from unconsciouness to death. He got hit by a car about 10 years ago and got his pelvis screwed back together. Other than that he gets around fine. thanx

    I agree Pat-no pumpkin when they are having tummy troubles. Plain Yoghurt is also good.
