nope, but when he was on beef frittata he does it. with nature logic he doesn't do it but the tear stain is so bad that's it bleed.

ok, on the tear stain, that area is raw, put just a small dab of Desitin on there, not near the eye. How often do give him a bath? because the skin doesn't have any red at all on it. or even dry flakes hummmm

Damn.... his folds look like Banks' -- her eyes tear a lot, but it is due to environmental allergies. spring/fall are the worst... i give her 2 Benedryl 2x a day as needed. But I'm wondering, if the skin issues are staph -- you said earlier that he had it before and it went away after a round of antibiotics? [MENTION=1714]Sherry[/MENTION] - think that is possible?

Staph usually has a more crusty, scaly look to it that will peal off and have a red wet round spot where the hair use to be. and it smells bad too. and will turn up on the belly and arm/leg pits / and hind end . Dolly has a few small spots that have missing hair on her left side, but it's been there for a year. It's just like four very small spots in one area. the vet has never mentioned them or thought of them to be an issue, they don't grow, they don't do anything. they are just there. they don't bother her and they don't get bigger. don't know what they are, just always thought they were kind of natural thing going on. Like something an adult turning senior might get. Dolly is 5

do these areas seem to be pimple like? I wouldn't pick at them if they are, it could get worse. ??

good for you and your bully, I'd think you shouldn't give so many baths too. I give mine a bath ever 3 months or 4 months. the oil in there coat is good for the skin. If they get dirty, I just wipe down with a wet towel and dry. Too much shampoo will dry the skin out. some people bathe their bully's even less. Although I do use a wet wash cloth to do their faces , and then dry so no moisture is left in the folds.

i have to bath him bc hes an inside dog and we take him to the park to play with other dogs about 2-3x a week , and hes stink after that lol.
if im reading this right on the fromm beef fritatta he had the bumps and was scratching and licking and on natures logic bad tear stains but did the bumps ever go away. i had a friend whose dog had this same thing and it was a treat she was feeding him and one she stopped it his hair grew back and the bumps went away. if i were you i would stop the yogurt and acv and anything else you may be feeding the dog in the way of treats people food ext. have you ever tried to feed your dog a bland diet? such as beef n rice or chicken n rice. with bullies sometimes simpler is better esp when dealing with allergies. this will help narrow down the cause of the bumps since it seems he has been checked at the vets. the nutrisca is a good start as it has very limited ingredients and is a good food but till it gets here i would do the bland diet and perhaps do that for a while and see if it clears up.
oh and i have bathed sarah twice a week for a very long time due to yeast issues n she was ok but i go as long as her situation will allow on the bathing. thankfully i am at like once every week n a half or two weeks now. yay.

the bumps always been there, with fromm his ear wax get worse and bumps get better but still there( scratches his ears only) bumps never bothered him, so I think it might be the potatoes in from m that's why I switched to nature's logic, then now ear is get better but bumps get worse, especially the tear stains...
