    Has anyone experienced there basenji getting something on its neck that looks like a goiter, Izzy skin on his neck under his chin all of a sudden started hanging like an inch down, didn't feel hard or anything just felt like hanging skin. Vets office said if it doesn't get better bring him in. After about two days it is back to normal. I had never seen anything like it on any dog that I have had. Does anyone have any idea what this could have been. And no I wasn't high on anything , I don't do that stuff. But it is absolutely true. I even took a pic of it.

    @isabob Would you mind sharing the pic? It could certainly help us to evaluate possible causes.

    I don't know. Totally off the wall speculation would be an insect bite which swelled quickly, stretching the skin, and it it took a couple of days for the skin to return to its normal state.

    You were pretty much right DonC, I showed the vets office the picture I had taken and they believed it could very well been a bug bite that had caused the baggy skin. Sorry I haven't downloaded the pic I have really been under the weather. Maybe I will upload the picture sometime in the future.

    @tanza listen to these ladies and gents, follow their lead.....they have helped me with some tough love, working with my 2 year old Thor to reduce this same behavior.....the B babies grow in B boys and girls and the biting just get worse. For me these built in Alphas will take the lead if you don’t stay at least a half step ahead of them. Thor is a work in progress, I wish I had found these warm loving and knowledgeable people when my B boy Thor was as young as your. congrats on the new member of your family.

    My undergraduate degree was in geophysics with a minor in applied math. I name all my Basenjis after Indian mathematicians. My current Basenjis are Madhava of Sangamagrama (Madhava for short) and Bramagupta (Bramagupta for short). They do respond to their "short" names.

    @hdolbow: well, rocky has VERY dry skin to the point where his whole back is dandruff-y lol anyone else have that problem/a solution? maybe its just the cold weather?:confused: I noticed Uzie's skin was very flaky and switched the main protein kibble from chicken to bison. A little olive oil every once in a while and now he is dandruff free. I actually bought a hair product that was recommended for me (olive oil) and he liked having it massaged in his coat!
