So Bristol had a few tiny spots on the inside of her leg that looked like bug bites the very next morning they looked weepy and crusty so I called our vet. They saw her did a skin scrape and slide and sent out for a fungal culture. They said it looked like it could be hotspots but unsure of the cause.
I have not changed her food or made any other changes. If it's a food allergy how long would it take for that to show up? Would it take more than three months, she has never presented to be allergic to grass or anything outside before -at almost 11 months old if it was a grass allergy wouldn't we have noticed? Does that leave us with pollen which is crazy bad right now?
The doctors gave her an injectable antibiotic for infection and a pill she has to take once a day for the next 14 days. They shaved her and cleaned the area by her elbow. She has Hexachlor shampoo for her paws/legs that I am to apply 3 times a week for a week then 1 a week and Hexachlor wipes for her tear stains.
I tell you I have one bulldog that seems to have escaped most bulldog medical issues and this sweet one that seems to want to prove her pedigree by having every one.
I have seen mentioned Greek yogurt and coconut oil please explain the benefits and the amounts and how often as I would like her to do have to continue with these skin issues once we get her healed.
