    Hi all…

    as for the rash.....to find out, the rash was called PYODERMA, Cali is taken Clavamox every 12 hours for 3 weeks, Chlorhexiderm Shampoo every 2-3 days, andHydroxyzine every 8-12 hours as needed that for the itching.

    Cali is doing fine the PYODERMA is not spreading no more so thats a good thing, I was talking to her vet, she said it was common in puppies.

    just want to know if anyone has had this in there Basenji's

    Hi Mark,
    Boy if I had a nickel for every time Nala was on Clavamox! They actually never diagnosed what the rash(es) were but let me tell you…we even went to the doggie dermatologist in NH (Vicky Sheit?? something like that) All I can say is "hang in there!" Nala is now 8 and I can't remember whether she was on it past 2 years old (YIKES!) But it was fairly mild but as a puppy, she lost the hair around her eyes and spread out a bit from there...
    Don't stress too much about it, but keep an eye on it and take her to the specialist if it doesn't clear up or keeps recurring...

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

    @elbrant said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: @Saving said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: divisive I guess I'm a dreamer.... but I believe that adults can have discussions and opinions without resorting to name calling and rude remarks. Your input is valuable. Thanks, because it's become a religion as soon as you speak against it people get so offended. The last 3 years has shown that quite clearly @Saving said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: Another friend's dog has a swollen leg at the vaccination site of his booster which is not resolving I"m sorry to hear about your friend's loss and understand the concern about the other friend's swollen leg. I had a similar experience, one of my dog's (not doodle) had a grossly swollen leg following a vet visit. The Vet told me it was cancer and I opted to let her go. Month's later I read online that it could have been the result of an allergic reaction. Please advise your friend to research possible answers before she makes a decision. Will do, a lot of the medication/vaccines cause inflammatory responses so it could just be that, it's still not nice for the dog to have that experience @Saving said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: dry food ... suffering from malnutrition omgosh! That is so scary!! I doubt the big manufacturers would ever allow a real study to see the light of day, but I would love to see one done. Just the thought makes me want to keep feeding my girl human grade foods. Yeah the same here, her research indicated that raw chicken wings were the optimal food and contain pretty much everything needed. I guess if you think of some of the processed crap they have in supermarkets trading as food for humans you can imagine how low the bar can go for pet food.

    @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.

    To give you an idea of the contrast between Basenjis and Border Collies, my BC once spit out a pill, I said "Blackie" in a disapproving tone, and he picked it up from the floor and swallowed it!
