Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • L

    This rash appeared on my B about a month ago. 1st vet trip they said to give Zyrtec & Benadryl. That seemed to help the agitation but didn't clear the rash up. 2nd vet trip they prescribed Prednisone & Cephalexin which really decreased the redness & he stopped licking at the rash. Now at the end of this round of treatment he is beginning to lick at it again. I have made an appointment for a skin test but thought I might get some insights from the B community. Thanks in advance guys!!!![0_1488243663362_20170227_191733_001.jpg](Uploading 100%)

    Where is the rash? In the groin area in the creases of the back legs? If so I have had it with 2 of my basenjis. Last time topagen spray cleared it up In a few days. It always seem to happen in winter. My first basenji got it every year in January. I'm not sure if it's the heat on or the dryness. But that spray worked. Good luck!

    Yeast dermatitis is very common in dogs. Did they do a scrapping of the rash?

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

    @Burma: they said that the vet did do a skin scraping, i dont recall them saying for mites. she eats beneful healthy radiance dry dog food-we thought that could help her skin stuff… You might want to try a better quality food and one without any grains, there are a number of them. And you should check and make sure that she was checked for mites. If you call your Vet they should have it on her records.

    @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....
