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!

    Urrggh sorry for the slow reply, the forum doesn't send me any notifications and it's so quiet I don't bother to check it regularly. Has he made any progress? If not, It sounds like you need to get an MRI done for Grady which may reveal more than the xray.

    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.

    @mryltis Read this comment from @morgansc within this post dated May 30, 2019, 7:49 AM. It answers your question. Ideally it is best to wait until age 24 months but no early than 18 months. https://basenjiforums.com/post/177284
