Since I've got my bulldog Harley he's been in the vet for numerous skin issues. Since the day I got him I've been feeding him nutro natural choice puppy chicken and rice formula and raw food mostly chicken and turkey. About 2 months after having him he broke out with red bumps all over his body which looked like hives but also looked like demodex mites. After treatment with rx shampoos, antibiotics, and sprays my vet finally prescribed ivermectin even though he had negative skin scrapes at 2 different vet offices. After being on ivermectin and antibiotic for roughly 30 days the bumps went away but harley was miserable he was biting and scratching till he bled so we took him back to the vet where we were advised to discontinue the ivermectin. He explained to us that the reaction he was having wasn't common in demodex mange, he then prescribed a steroid more antibiotic and royal canin pr rabbit and potatoe formula. My question is being that this food is so expensive is there any alternative. I have noticed since he's been on the steroid and royal canin pr his coat is much softer and a lot less brittle.
