Seems as though Hank has a rash under his "arm pit" or "legpit " area. I say its a rash, its kind of red and the hair is gone. It doesnt seem to bother him, I am just worried that it will spread.Although it does not look like its getting bigger, I was just wondering if its just his skin rubbing back and forth that has caused this. Or some type of skin disorder.Any suggestions?
Opps guess I should have posted this on the Health and Genetics board.
I never feel comfortable responding to health questions because I'm not a vet, but that being said, alot of bassets seem to have what you describe- Murray gets it in his armpits and under his neck in the summer- a little Gold Bond Medicated baby powder seems to help the situation.But if it starts getting raw and irritated,I would call your vet- my vet gave me Gentocin spray to heal any little sores- works great!Bassets are prone to allergy related skin problems, I check Murray every morning and try to catch any yeast problems etc. before they develop into something bigger. He loves the attention and it keeps things from getting out of hand.Hope this helps.
I just started using the Gold Bond powder on Belvedere. It helps if you use it regularly ...but gettingin on there is a challenge. And that stuff kinda smells like the diaper rash creams. Weird. But it seems to sooth the redness.
PS I was worried that he might lick it off but he doesn't seem to be interested.
I have a 5 month old Male Basset. We got him when he was 10 weeks old and has been the only dog in the house. Until last week. We got a 2 year old spayed/nurtured Female YorkiPoo and we cant tell if hes being a bully to her or just being a dominant male. Just to give you a little context on the...
Hi
I have a goofy basset named Henry who is almost 3 years old. When he became part of my family, he came with Giardia. That was treated, but later, he began to have a truly unpleasant odor and I learned a few months ago, he had to have his anal glands expressed. Now, the smell and the...
Hi everyone,
Well.. its finally here. Jeremiah comes home Monday at 8 weeks old. I've been reading up on bassetts. I'm a first time owner. He gets micro chipped and 1st set of shots on monday. Just any good positive honest feedback on how to get through the first week with a basset puppy for...
We've got the lovely (3 months old) Emily. We were told she is a full bred basset hound, both parents bassets, but not KC registered. Managed only to see her mum. Was wondering what are your thoughts on whether it is a basset hound or a mix?
Many thanks :)
I am suffering from severe anxiety, and the times have been tough for me. The only last hope for me is my pet, Dixie, who is a 3-year-old basset. I am moving to a new place, but my landlord is not allowing Dixie with me. Can anyone suggest to me what I should do? :mad:
Thanks for any advice.
