@tonyzz said in Hairloss on blackening ears and brown belly:
I would say Yeast infection on the belly. I have not see the black on the ears, but they (vet) should at least do a scrapping
thanks guys, I'm gonna just do a wait and see. It's really nothing terrible, just a little odd…
A little update on the 'rash'…...seems to be going away. I noticed this morning the 'bumps' were a lot smaller, feels less rough to the touch too. Makes me think it was some allergic reaction to something.....
Thanx for the update. Did you change food recently, or are you thinking it was an alergic reaction to something she got into?….....Glad to hear it's clearing up.

Well, I guess it could be almost ANYTHING because I've only had her for a week now! She probably had it when I got her…..I'm keeping her on the same food she's been eating etc...
Hi guys, was wondering what the deal is with my 5 month old female's ears. The inside of her ears are a little 'rough' in texture and she seems to be breaking out a bit and they also seem a little dry. I'm assuming it's an allergic reaction to something (at least that's what it LOOKS like) and was thinking of putting a little Benadryl cream on them. Any ideas or thoughts? I've never seen this before on any of my other dogs….it doesn't look TERRIBLE but it's got me a little concerned. Any help would be appreciated!
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.

What is she eating? Many times they develop allergies to food over time…. especially if there is corn or lots of grains/fillers in them
Oh Hi Pat . . . Yes, allergies to something. She eats Lamb or Chicken & Brown Rice. No corn, other grains or fillers. Hates pet store snacks; we cook fresh chicken to use as treats. She had the ear rash when we got her, but they didn't feed her corn, other grains or fillers either. She gets it 2-3 times a year and it's a pain. Doesn't itch or smell. Looks bad, gets black, crusty, tender on the edges. DermoVets don't know either.
Lamb can sometimes be the cause of allergies…. in some dogs...

She was eating Pedigree puppy food when I got her. I'm slowing weaning her off and into Solid Gold…....

Yup, it's just on the inside of the flaps. It's going away VERY slowly. I'll try the olive oil treatment…...thanks!
