[Dailydrool] Basset Armpits - To Jeff & Maggie

[ILVBASSETS at aol.com]

Jeff,
 
My 1 year old basset Bentley is going through the same thing.  His  
underarms are bare of fur and red as well as around his mouth.  This  first 
appeared in the spring but went away with antibiotics, Benadryl and  Gentocin 
spray.   It came back in September with a vengence and the  vet says seasonal 
allergies but I've noticed there is a yeasty looking coat  covering his 
underarm skin when it gets sore.  I'm not totally convinced  about the allergies 
but I do keep him on the benadryl long after the antibiotics  are gone so I 
guess that's what it is.  I've had 6 bassets and this is the  first I've ever 
come across this personally. 
 
 


Hugs & Blessings,
Alisa - Mom to Bentley (& Sadie  and to Molly, Maggie,Watson & Buddy all
