Hello and thank you in advance for your help! I am new to the group. I am also a new bulldog Mom! I am not sure where to start or how to help my dog He is 2 years old, I have had him for 6 weeks. He is a pure bred grand champion, I purchased him from a local breeder. The breeder had him on a salmon and rice purina food. Armando was congested and had a runny nose from day 1. He did have a history of having yeast infections and a paw cyst. His groomer mentioned about a week ago that his paws were really red between the toes and in the pads. She said he smelled like he was getting an ear infection or had one. Prior to I had noticed that he was rubbing himself on his cage and on the furniture. I did not think much of it being a new dog owner. I have been checking in on the red areas and smelling his ears, watching him carefully realizing he needs some support! I contacted a natural pet food store a week ago and she recommended to start 100% on white fish kibble and treats with probiotic sprinkles in addition to a slow feeder. The symptoms have continued and his paw cyst has grown and ruptured. The natural food pet food store wants to start him on a kangaroo kibble. She mentioned that he may need an allergy shot. At this point I am not sure how to help him or where to start. My approach with health care is approach it organically from the root of the problem. Can anyone offer suggestions or advice?
