allergies

Hi guys! I was just thinking of you all the other day driving, super busy. Then this happened...... Backstory, Bentley has his neuter surgery and everything went great. They did notice that his tonsils were a little swollen and they blamed it on his allergies we are trying to narrow down. He...

If anyone here has had bulldogs with severe skin conditions can you post what worked for you? Poor Brutus is a paw-chewing ear-scratching mess. Vet recommended he have no meat whatsoever and we bought Iams vetrinary formula skin and coat + but that just turned his skin irritation from pink to a...

For the most part, Goob is the picture of health. He used to eat Merrick Grain Free Buffalo but two months ago, we switched him to Nature's Variety Instinct Raw Boost (Venison and Lamb). He made the switch very well. He has firm regular poop, he isn't itchy, and he seems to love the food...

Hello, I just don't know what to do anymore or where to turn. I am at a complete loss here. Lily will be 4 in a a few months and she weighs 39lbs. I have never had an issue with food allergies since I started home cooking for her about 3 years now. That is until 3 months ago. Out of nowhere...

Hi everyone, I posted before about the problems I'm having with Dozer and his allergies. He started out on Fromm's Chicken, and did not do well on this, he was allergic right away, we switched to Fromm's Beef Frittata, and both Dozer and Blossom did well on this food for about 2 years, then...

So everyone knows the torture I go through with Brutus and his food and accompanying allergies. He did great on The Honest Kitchen, but lost too much weight so I put him on Blue Buffalo Simple. It is a single protien of Duck, which Brutus did well on. He was on it for about 2 weeks and now has a...

Bentley is going to be a year old in a month and I am looking into new foods for him, to start weening him off of puppy food. Currently, Bentley is on Wellness Complete Puppy food and he has issues with his stool, it has always been very soft. He gets pumpkin with his food daily to help firm it...

Hi Everyone! My name is Ashley. I am a 24-year-old, single parent to the best bully I could ask for - Dozer! I joined EBN a while ago, but have only really stalked the forms. Whether all of you know it or not, you have been an amazing help in my transition to becoming a bully momma! I adopted...

Bella has been on Fromm Grain-Free Lamb & Lentil since she graduated from Fromm Puppy 6 months ago. For the past 3 weeks to a month, she's been licking her paws super obsessively. Also, her tear stains have gotten really bad. Occasionally, I'll feed her Canidae biscuits (turkey, quinoa...

So I took Bentley to the vet today. Finally, for allergies, he's going to be fine. More on that later.... Anyway I wanted to switch him over to the expert in our area, Dr. Carpenter. I think I was star struck a bit. hahahaha.... I wanted to sound like a good bulldog mom...... So we sit down...

We are so worried!!! Roxy is on antibiotics for respiratory infection and we noticed today that her right eye bottom lid appears to maybe be looser than the other and has a red slimey bit. Im not sure what this is...Do I take her to the vet? We have been to the vet twice in the 6 DAYS we have...

My bully is 2 years old and yesterday we noticed signs of itching and hives. It has been progressively getting worse. We have been accustomed to these reactions and usually treat her with Benadryl 25mg tabs which usually clear it up. We took her to a pet hospital today, and they ended up...

:please:I'm here hoping someone is familiar with some skin issues my bully has been experiencing and can possibly guide me in the right direction. I know bulldogs generally have a lot of skin problems but I am so stumped and frustrated and feeling super guilty about this one. I have two...

My 10yo female has been on California Natural Kangaroo for a couple of years due to protein allergies. For the most part, she'd been ok, but seems to have allergy issues, i.e. paw licking, ear scratching, scooting, etc.... I just got her Zignature kangaroo today, wondering if anyone has any...

I have often come to this website for advice but this past year's health problems have made me join up so I can post! My husband and I got our dog Boudreau from a breeder when he was two years old, he is now five and up until November 2014 was in perfect health. I would read all the bulldog...

Hi all, Totally new to the bully world and to this forum. We got our baby bully 3 months ago when he was 12 weeks old and we're totally smitten! However, pretty much since he arrived with us he has had terrible hives and red, hot itchy skin on his belly which now seems to be spreading to his...

Hi! We are totally new to the bulldog world but have absolutely fallen in love with our new family addition! There's no going back now! We're having a few skin problems with our baby and so far this site has been a wealth of information so I'll post on the allergies section to see if anyone has...

I think Mr. Chubbs has fall allergies. He is almost two, so not sure as he has only lived through one fall so far and he isn't old enough to be allergy tested (nor do I wish to pay for allergy testing if I can avoid it). He was having skin issues on his face last fall too. But his face has been...

:(So, just for a quick background - Brynnlee is allergic to potatoes and cheese, we learned that one the hard way as I was not told about any allergies when I got her. Today I left her home, as it was way to hot and humid here in Wisconsin to take her with me, with my mom and step dad - she was...

Hi! I have read everything I can find for allergies and I suspect my 8 yr old boy has some allergy, but we are having trouble and I am wondering if you can recommend a next step for us. Just a little history. Spring 1 & 2 with us, he had diarrhea and we did a basic allergy test with no results...

Hello! Can anyone give me some advice regarding Epsom salt baths? Every spring and summer my Lily gets pink/red itching paws that she bites and licks all the time. I know it's allergies probably from the grass or weeds out in the backyard. I wipe her paws down after she comes in after potty...

So yesterday while petting Jovi I noticed there were two small and one large bump on her left leg. So I told my fiance about it and he said we will have to bring her to the vet in a few days if it does not clear to so if it's a tumor, I obviously hated to hear those words, but I agreed. We went...

I'm having a big problem with Dozer and his allergies. They are really bad again, he is licking his paws until they are soggy, and puffy, his eyes are goopy, and he is itchy. I have been giving him Benadryl, and it helps a little but I need to find a new food for him. I have spoken to my vet...

I switched Dozer and Blossom to Fromms Lamb and Lentil about 9 months ago, and they were doing well, but now Dozer is showing signs of allergies again. He's licking his paws until they're soaked and soggy, his eyes are goopy again, his nose is dry, and he's scratching at his neck and ears. I'm...

Me again. Ha! So Bentley is kinda high right now..... If you have read about my weekend, you know he was at the ER for hives Thursday night. So Friday morning I gave him his first dose of Benadryl and again around 10 P.M. In case you are concerned (I was for a while) He is 49 pounds so he was...

Hi my fellow Bullie lovers! Just a quick question. Our English Bulldog Miss Bella is 9 and we have had a ruff road lately with her and what we have thought to be "hot spots". We have tried every steroid, come to find out her VERY sensative tummy cannot stand any of them. Medicated baths every 3...

Nelly (2 years) is currently in the ICU at the local VCA. She has seen an Ophthalmologist, full disclosure we haven't spoken directly to eye doc yet while we face seizure issues. Apparently she has been diagnosed with an eye ulcer, entropian. Eye doc recommends removing part of the lid and...

Recently I was offered some advice in my tear-stain battle quest. One of the suggestions I got was to try a product called "NuVet Plus". I decided to research this product, I really liked what I read so I went to the web-site to order it. There were other products on the website that I thought...

Hi All, This is my first real post, though I have learned a lot from reading all of the other threads! I adopted a 8 year old Bully named Ruby about 6 months ago. We had a rough go- skin infection, UTI, head tremors, surgery to remove bladder stones, diet to loose about 8 lbs.. Finally got her...

Hi! Just in case- I've been kind of struggling with Bentleys allergies this summer. It is our first experience with allergies. So I'm cleaning him tonight like normal and under his back leg is a small bight pink pimple. Is this a hotspot? I've read about them. The pictures I've seen look...

Hey, My bulldog has been kind of clumsy lately tripping on lots of things and falling while walking even. the vet seems to think its her joints and she might have arthritis she is just 3 years old so that seems early to have arthritis but in this breed im sure its possible. she has never been...

Hi all. I'm feel pretty confident on my over all care for Bentley but I would like to take it up to the next level. I mentioned how much I loved visiting the site for information in my welcome spot, I decided I wanted to be apart of the group. :) Here's my two questions. I'll try to keep it...

Hello all, I am rescuing a 4yr old English Bulldog this month, I've never had one before but always been a big fan of the breed. Ive had a Bullmastiff (Lunchbox) the last 10 years who i fed a mix of Bil.Jac Large Breed food and slow cooked meals consisting of brown rice, beef, chicken and sweet...
