@kazzy220 what is a hot spot..And Im not sure if he is alergic to the food but just yesterday I completeley switch over to FROMM 4 star duck and sweet potato. I noticed it last week when it was just brownish and size of a penny. During his food tranistion Ive mixed 100 percent caned pumkin in his food for him to eat it.
.
It's a form of dermatitis .. it grows to become a raw open sore that can ooze fluid. Basically it's a skin infection and bullys seem to get it alot when they are in contact with something they are allergic to. It could be the food or it may be something around him ...even a plastic water or food bowl. They are usually quite itchy and can spread fast. I'm going to tag [MENTION=2]desertskybulldogs[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3247]acarabias[/MENTION] who have both dealth with hot spots recently and can give you some help.
Just a thought .. I do love Fromm ... but Maggie did not do well on the duck and sweet potato. I know she's not good with chicken so whether it was the duck or an allergy to the potato (which a lot of bullys have) I really couldn't say but I've never bought that paticular flavour again!
