Rash

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • Basenji and rashes

    Cali just started to get these little red lumps all over her belly….taken her to the vet tomorrow.

  • Poor Cali, I hope everything is okay. Keep us posted on what the vet says.

  • 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.

    @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.

    @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.

I would bet a yeast infection
