Duna's strange color change on her tummy!!!
-
I haven't seen any of your photos. A message is up in your post "403 Forbidden" Is that just my computer? Does the spot look anything like the pic I posted in the following thread?

I've read all your post…i thank you so much...yes, its something like that but its spread more....as soon as i can i'll upload the pic again ...the strange thing is that last evening, with the other computer where the pics are stored, the pics reappeared on my post and were visible to me...I dont know if anyone else saw them....its so strange!!! I will take Duna to the vet today and let you know...
Thanks -
Tanza…she was in season in october...
Not surprising that she has some swelling…. had she been bred in October, she would have had puppies in December or January. I would say it is normal
As far as the belly rash, again as I have said many times, don't rule out yeast infection. While they can be itchy, I have had bitches that got it and it was not really all that itchy

Our tri became allergic to grass a year or so ago. His hair was falling out where the grass touched his body where he laid in the yard. He also has food allergies.
Our Vet put him on Iams Kangaroo & Oats, which he did really well on. The downside was the food had a lot of chemical additives and was $70 for a 25 pound bag, could only be bought through our vet.
A strange thing happened though after about 4-5 months on the food. He developed like orange brown bat wing like marking on his shoulders. I kidded our kids that he was growing shinigami wings, (he does have the devil in him), or the kangaroo meat was changing his color as meat kangaroos are often the Red Kangaroo (half joking).
Anyway, we switched his food to Blue Buffalo Lamb & Rice, which he is doing well on. After about 3 months his little wing marks disappeared.

I'm back…but i'm afraid it was impossible for me to take Duna to the vet yesterday afternoon, as the vet was out and i dont like any other vets to check out Duna. So i'll wait till he comes back as I see she's not having any problems......but I will tell you some thing strange though.
i had a suspect of the cause, but eliminated it as i thought it wasn't probably that....but having read Barkless's post as to allergie to grass...i'm wondering again if it really is what i thought it to be!!
yes...I'll get to the point: Duna very often, jumps on the wall of her outdoor space ( a spacious italian terrazzo) which is 1 meter high and then it has those kind of trellis fancy bricks for an other 2 meters. She jumps on the step that there is between the two kind of bricks and pokes her head and half of her body to see the people pass from down below the street( this terrazzo is upstairs). I've noticed just a few minutes ago that she leans on the wall with her tummy on the part that is brown, that's why her belly button is always scratched then!!!! Oh and on this wall where her tummy is in cntact with, there is a bit of musk growing....could she be allergic to that???? Sorry for my english.....:p
ps. I'll exclude the yeast infection as Duna is raw fed since i got her nearly a year ago and i prohibit to any member of the family to feed her carbohydrates ( biscuits, bread kibble) etc..etc -
So, maybe is like a rug burn, a scraping of the top layers of the skin?

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

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
