Adantix

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • dear friends, is there any way to know before using Advantix whether my Basenji might be allergic? should it be too risky can anybody kindly suggest a product that is effective? looking fwd to any suggestion and help, regards RB

  • Hi.
    I have used Advantix few times and I was allways satisfied. I am not sure If you can check allergic reaction….maybe take a drop on your dogs ear or somewhere when you can see the reaction after two days, but I don?t know if rest of pipet could stay few days opened.....
    What kind of antiparasitic product did you use in past?

  • If I were you I would try the Avantix in the morning of a day that you know that you are home to watch for reactions as well as a day when you know a veterinary is open/available. I have not used Advantix on any of my dogs, so I don't know how it works. We have them on Comfortis right now, it is pill they take and withing a few hours the fleas are dead on them and gone for a month. It is fairly new here in the States so I don't know if it available in Italy yet. The other ones that are "safe" is Frontline" and "Advantage", but again I don't know if you have them back in wonderful Italy. (Italy always was my favorite country in Europe, I am from Sweden).
    Good Luck

  • We used Frontline once only and got an allergic reaction from most of the Basenjis and one of the collies - that was several years ago and we've never used it since! I have no experience of the others you mention as I give mine garlic at risky times and they have no troubles with parasites. (We hardly ever have ticks in my part of the Uk). I try to avoid chemicals when I can.

    @Saving Thanks so much for the information! I am researching further and continuing with her rehab exercises as best I can. Glad you recovered from your spinal injuries.

    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
