I've just bought the Candidae as a back up in case i can't get hold of Evo - grain free, i haven't tried it on my basenji yet, but is it pretty much the same as Evo? Also, what's the go with the pumpkin? Will this help her (Chilli) gain weight??

our basenji & jack russell are quite happy together in the crate..

yes agree, if you don't want your b to scraped. try changing the diet first. if it doesn't go away then you'll need to get scrapping done. it might be something else. when my vet scraping on her they though it could be tape worm or ring worm but it wasn't that.

hi, after reading about the posts on faconi syndrome test, is there a place in australia where i can get chilli tested. i know if i talk to our local vet, they will look at me strange..they are not use to questions about basenji's…i also didn't get her from a registered breeder so a little unsure if she does or doesn't have it..i guess seeing she's just alittle over a year old now would be as good time as any to get her tested..

hi saba, yes have one and only b' Chilli…

don't know much about the blood testing and stuff but be keen to know.
also we didn't get Chilli from a breeder so don't know how to go about doing all the blood test..as you know the vets here don't know much about these adorable creatures!!

after reading all posts, we changed Chilli's food to Innovo - Evo (no grain)
this is the only product i can find here in melbourne..she hasn't completely stop but still scratching. might have something to do with her stealing food from the jack russell. found that out tonight!

hello…nice to see someone from aust too..

i'm in melbourne!i found this site to be very helpful!

i haven't asked my neighbours as to what they are burning as they are never home. just an update though, Chilli is much better now but have now a rash and the vet suggested it's some sort of food allery. she's on medication and vitamins at the moment. I've been reading some posted items on the site and it might be corn allergy?? anyone can help me on this one?

hi, my basenji has the same problem. she only scratches on one part of her body and now the fur is all gone. i took her to the vet last night and got given anti biotics and vitamin supplement..is this a common thing? Cos i'm pretty sure her food has corn. there's not a lot of basenji's here in aust so the vets are always vague about what the diagnosis is for basenji

hi
i haven't logged in in awhile but i think chilli has that ear rash problem. at the beginning is it lumpy and hard like a pimple?
