Bella
Hi my name is Caitlin and I'm new to this site in seek of major assistance. I have a 2 year old french bulldog; her name is Bella with a skin irritation. She has had this same condition last year around this same exact time. She was treated with medicated shampoo twice a week and cephalexin 2x a day. Now I am back at square one. :(

Her symptoms are a light rash on her belly. And on her back she has these little pink circles is how they start out. Then turn moist and dry out by scabbing over. The scab then falls of and the area were the scab was the first layer of skin is peeled back. Then look normal again. I just don't understand what is causing them or how to gain control over them. If any other Bulldogs have this issue?

Please any suggestions would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!

sincerely, Caitlin

Hello and :welcome3:

it could be a number of thing, but my guess w/o a photo would be a staph infection which is usually caused by weaken immune Shem, which I turn is a result of allergies.

what do you feed... Brand and protein? Where do you live, .. Could be the season change? Can you post a few pictures so the members can see and give better insight/advice?

Welcome to the site. It may just be seasonal allergies. Try Benedryl to start and see it that helps. dose is 1 mg per pound of weight. For a Frenchie, just give one 25 mg. pill. We would also like to invite you to our Frenchie forum at French Bulldog News Forums - French Bulldog News Forum come on over. :)
