Duna's strange color change on her tummy!!!

Basenji Talk
  • So, maybe is like a rug burn, a scraping of the top layers of the skin?

  • at last…hope you folks can see the pic now...

  • For me, it looks like classic yeast infection….. I think that at one time or another, every dog I have had a bit of a yeast infection on the belly... (or in the case of the boys, many time on their testicles)

  • A yeast infection is not caused by feeding bread and I don't think it's that kind of yeast. It's a contact type of dermatitis that is caused by some sort of germ or fungus. From what the experts here have said, it is also unrelated to the type of yeast infection women sometimes get.

    Yes, exactly

  • Well, I thank you so much for your kind help and i apologize for my ignorance as to fungus and infections in basenjis or dogs.
    thanks again…

  • No need to apologize, we are all learning about our basenjis here!

    The belly could have some scratching from your wall, but I see what you mean about all the fur in that area seeming reddish rather than white. It is not an emergency, so wait till your vet is back and take her in. He may need to do a skin scraping to see what it is for sure.

    Do you know what i did MacPack this afternoon..?well i scraped all the dry moss off the wall and scrubbed it till my fingers nearly dropped off. My arms are aching now;), but i'm thinking that, that moss could of stained or dyed the fur like a ladies tint…:rolleyes:so just in case..i got rid of it all.
    My vet will be back on munday..and i'll let you all know what he says.
    I can't thank-you all enough!!!!
    Kisses xxxxxx:p

  • hi…it's been a long time since i last posted on this thread...
    Duna is fine...she had an irritation due to the moss as i said..and the fur did turn brownish for the tinting of the moss its self. now its all dissappeared...
    thank-you all

  • Great to hear that she has healed and that you found out what the culprit was. BTW, I thought she had a very sweet looking belly!

    Ladybasenji, where are you in Quebec? Montreal? We have a place in Gatineau (Aylmer sector) and one of my dogs might even be related to yours. You're experiences with your girl remind me so much of my first basenji, about 20 years ago–it gets easier, I swear! Let me know if you'd like help with Lady--they're nothing like labs and will never be "obedient" but there are tricks for training them : D
  • What's your B's neck measure (trying to size a collar)?

    You can find a lot of puppy collars at thrift shops for pretty cheap - would never pay full price for one. I'm getting mine at 14 weeks and was told that 8-12 inches was what was being used - then at 4- 6 months graduate to 10-14 inch collar.
  • Who's training whom?!?!

    Isis is darling! By all means do a 'well baby' visit with your vet, and order the DNA swab for fanconi, huge peace of mind. I had a wonderful Isis many years ago, I love the name!
  • Where's the leash?

    If you find that you have excessive collars/leashes, you may want to call your local shelter and see if they would like to have them. So many shelters run on such a shoestring budget, it might be something they'd be able to use but not afford…. Just a thought
  • So are these Af's different than our domestic B's?

    Jayden is super gross when it comes to what he'll eat: poop, vomit, and, if he pees on the patio, he'll lick that. Honest!!! We feed him and we feed him very well! Yucccchhhhh! Pat

    I think I saw Sophie on a b video website and I was so glad that someone else's B made that noise I showed it to my husband and daughter. Thanks for posting that video because as a new B owner we thought we had some kind of devel dog!!! She does it the most to our oldest dog Josie. There are nights she even does it from under our covers in bed when she hears Josie moving out in the living room. Too Funny!!!!
