allergy

Hello! I am the proud owner of an 8month old english bulldog mix. He was part of a litter rescued from a puppy mill (we think) so his history is unclear. We were told he is a bulldog beagle mix. I have no idea what kind of health his parents were in unfortunalty so it's been a struggle, he's...

If my daughter was telling this story she'd say "mom is about to rage" I'm about to rage. The youngest son graduated from Air Force basic training last weekend. It was awesome and I'm so proud of him. The middle son is working close to home so he stays here during the week so he was here to take...

Never-ending story...and this post is long, so please bear with me. It's not altogether about raw feeding, but I post it here. The problem is that we have still not quite managed to find the optimum food for Castor who is almost 2. We have tried both kibble and raw, and everything seems to work...

BIO: Libby was surrendered to IBR when her family became overwhelmed with her allergy issues and could no longer afford to give her the care she deserves. She has had allergy testing done and it has been determined she is allergic to grass. Her skin is inflamed all over, her toes are swollen...

I recently within the last few weeks changed my bully back to Fromms Grain-Free. She was on the Merrick Grain-Free but started vomiting and diarrhea so we went back to Fromms Lamb and Lentil. She now has very stinky face. She seems to have a lot of tearing recently and gas. When she was on...

Overall, Castor seems to be quite a happy dog, but he has those periods of almost obsessive licking (front legs and air licking). Usually, it's possible to redirect him, but he starts again after a minute or two. He doesn't do this all the time but a couple of times a day, very intensely. We...

Okay, let me be more specific. Chubbs goes in circles, FOREVER, licking and (I think) trying to bite his ding-a-ling. I tried looking at it and it looks a little red. Is that normal or is he biting it? He's also trying to lick his rear (super funny how frustrated he gets because he can't reach.)...

I bought Buttercup a beef knuckle bone from the meat market today to try to improve her dental hygiene. She licked and chewed at it for a few minutes then stopped, gave me an "I did something bad and now I'm in trouble" look, then promptly vomited 4 times. She didn't eat any of the bone itself...

Hi! I'm new here and I saw that a lot of people are posting about weird skin conditions their Bulldogs have. Well, my baby spartacus is a little over a year old, and we've had him about six months. He had devolped a strange lump on his ribs. We took him to a vet, but she had no idea what it was...

Of course, I knew this going in. I've been allergic to dogs and cats my entire life. I eventfully got used to my Lhasa after a short while of living with him. With Bella, however, I don't feel like I'm getting any better. I'm chronically stuffy, sneezy, wheezy, etc. She has a TON of dander. I...

I recently switched both of my bullies over to Nutrisca Chicken & Chickpeas food as their previous food was discountinued (Source Turkey & Peas). My younger boy, Memphis, is allergic to just about everything (according to many allergy tests) and this is one of the few foods that I've found that...

We've gotten our hygiene routine down pat in large part thanks to wonderful EBN members, but lately Buttercup's breath smells FOUL. Like rotting garbage. It may be because we have been adding water to her kibble given low intake on her part. Her teeth don't look decayed (and the vet said no...

Does this look like an allergy or yeasty foot. She seems to get this symptom every now and then but I can figure out what causes it. She does lick it and doesn't really want me to touch it very much. The only thing I can really think of is the fact that we walk at night and she like to do her...

Is there a way to distinguish the difference between food and environmental allergies? My dog's symptoms are mostly pink itchy forehead and face, pink outer ear and at times itchy chest and abdomen. She is currently eating Canidae Pure Sea after trying a few different brands all with allergy...

As some of you might remember, Castor was eating raw but before his nares/soft palate surgery the vet asked us to put him on some allergy food as he was scratching himself badly. We now seem to have ruled out food allergy (he is a bit yeasty but his previous scratching stopped after his surgery)...

Today Castor had his post-surgery (nares and soft palate) checkup. Everything looks fine, and difference in breathing is amazing. When we first took him for an evaluation of his breathing problems, they suggested he might also have a allergy problem as he was scratching himself raw, but as...

Hi all, New to this forum so if this question has been asked, I apologize. My 5 yr old english bully Eggo is suffering from a bout of hotspots. It started when we moved to a more humid, rainy climate and exploded a couple of days ago. I had been bathing him in some antibacterial shampoo given...

ABOUT BONDED PAIR FLACA & GORDO Hello everyone, meet Flaca and Gordo who are a BONDED Pair who were in their former home since 8 weeks old. These sweet loving littermates were dumped at Animal Control by their former owners simply because they had allergy issues. These fur siblings are friendly...

Please advise, so frustrated. Our guy has been on allergy shots for over a yr now. He has about 1-2 doses left on his 2nd set of serums - yes, he gets two shots and every 2 weeks as opposed to 1x a month. A few months back he got so terribly bad (horrible skin crust creeping all over him that...

My bulldog is one year old. His wrinkles on his face have been an up and down battle for a while now. He has chronic tear stains and when they look good they are a mauve color and dry. But when they are flared up they look very irritated and red. This applies to the fold above his nose too. I...

Hi! My English Bulldog, Winston, is 2.5 years old. He has a tail pocket and severe allergies so he's spent most of his life on prednisone. Nearly a month ago, he started developing these rough, raised patches of skin on the back of his neck and shoulders. It started oozing a clear/yellow fluid...

Another allergy attack with my son today... went to the ER, doctor asked me about the dogs, and I said we still have them... and she looks at me and says - "Let me remind you one more time, your son is extreeeemmmely allergic to dogs..."... Yeah, yeah, yeah... I know. Sigh. So, my son and I...

Has anyone here ever used it? I'm having a struggle with Ruthie's ears. She loathes having them cleaned and the solution i was using just seemed a bit too harsh for her. Personally I love Burt's Bees products but I haven't used their dog line yet. her ears are red and so itchy, they aren't...

I need some help with Farley.. Poor guy is such a low rider that his belly and pee pee touch the ground so easily..He has been having the belly in front of his pee pee being swollen, red and inflamed. I think it is from grass? He likes to go outside and bark at us when we do chicken chores.*lol*...

We seem to have gotten Buttercup's allergies largely under control by changing her food but since the cold, dry winter rolled in she seems to have dry itchy skin. It's not red or raw but when I rub her itchy parts (face, hindquarter, back) to keep her from scratching, I notice fine flakes of...

About Rascal This is Rascal, my English Bulldog foster. He was an owner surrender. This poor dog came with what we thought were "allergies" according to the owner, however, his anal glands had abscessed and ruptured. He was dripping fecal matter and blood, for who knows how long. His rear end...
