Basenji Health Issues & Questions

    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?

    @Maxie: Hi Tommy, My Basenji has that from time to time. Not inside, just on the ear flaps. Some people call it Winter Ears, but I'm not sure what the name of this problem is. Tried many things, but here's what worked for me. Thoroughly cleaned outside of her ears with ear cleaner from a pet store. Let dry, then used olive oil daily until it cleared up. Let me know if that works for you. Yup, it's just on the inside of the flaps. It's going away VERY slowly. I'll try the olive oil treatment…...thanks!

    Poor baby. Also from now on, in addition to the benadryl, I'd give the rabies separated out from the combo and skip the Lepto. Check with your vet and do your own homework about the Lepto though. (But no sense in overloading the immune system with a bunch of vac's at one time.)

    Phoenix has had a rash like that before i went to the vet I figured a yeast infection is a yeast infection right weather in people or pets so i went and bought some "womans yeast infection meds" those bullet shaped things and just took it out of the wrapper and just rubbed it on his tummy alittle i rubbed it in and made sure he didnt lick at it the next morning the rash was just about gone went to the vet and she said that's what he had and to acaully just use what i did for a day or so and it should be gone it was a surface yeast infection and so as long as i just rubbed that stuff on like it was lotion he would be fine i applaied it 2 more times and it was gone he gets them from time to time and thats all i do it's a alot cheaper in the long run the stuff she said she was going to give me was going to cost me $67. plus the cost of the vet so i figured now i will just save the moeny and go spend 8 :) i would think there might be a problem using that if u have a dog that likes to try and lick it but phoenix could care less he just enjoyed his belly rub while i was rubbing it in :)

    Cali had the same thing…so I took her to the Vet on Sat.......they said it was common for puppies. so they gave me Clavamox for the lumps...twice a day also Hydroxyzine for the itching 1 tablet 8-12 hours as needed... and this shampoo Chlorhexiderm Shampoo....2-3 days aweek thats all the info I have..and will let you all know on how things go with that......cause i was going to try Benadryl.
