    Basenjis seem to have sensitive skin. One of ours often had rashes as you're describing when he was young. Twice we had to take him to the vet. A couple shots and prescription Benadryl cleared them up. The vet said we could use children's Benadryl as soon as we saw any signs. It also helped with a few wasp stings. You may want to ask your vet about doing the same. If so they can recommend a dosage. Good luck.

    I recently noticed redness around one of my B's neck & I thought it was the chain choke that might be irritating it so I stopped using for a couple of days. Then he developed 3 red bumps (they look like human zits). Not sure what this is?? Any thoughts?

    Maybe I should switch to nylon choke ?

    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.

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

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

    @Hana: She is 10.5 months now so we'll be thinking about transitioning at some point to an adult food. Here's a link to many of the dry foods lots of folks on this list use. http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/dog-food-reviews/dry/ IMO, if you can afford the 5 star foods, go for it. Kipawa eats Taste of The Wild Bison formula and loves it! There's no grain or corn or 'meal' in it.

    @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....

    @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.)
