hi and welcome. I'm in ga too. Newnan. I'm a new bully owner as well. I adopted a 3 year old. and it is so overwhelming! I know exactly how you feel. a grain free foodwill work wonders. baby shampoo and vinegar rinse bath help A TON. good luck and welcome! btw I'd take what the vet says with a grain of salt.... at least as far as diet. most don't have a lot of experience with it....
