Hi everyone my name is phoebe and I am a five month old English bulldog, my bully mom name is Cindy she's trying really hard to be a good mom ,but she's having problems with my skin and I found your site and everyone here sound so supportive and kind that I thought maybe I could help her out and help her find some answers.you see my skin is all broken out and so was my moms were both super itchy and we've tried everything she's using Hypo allergenic laundry detergent they only get my food now no treats. The real confusing part is she has a rash just like mine so if you have any suggestions of what it might be could you please let us know thank you lots of love Phoebe
P.s. As soon as she can figure out how to post a picture on this she will put pictures

It would help to see a pic. What food are you on? but if your mom has the same rash, it might not be food, it could be a fungal infection, as some are contagious to dogs and humans.

Hi David H thank you for the quick response I can't seem to upload pictures off of my iPhone so I'm going to have to do it tomorrow when I am at my desk but I'm tending to lean more towards some kind of a fungal infection we both got ,because her rash is identical to my rash YIKESSSS
I will definitely send you pictures though
And again thank you so much

:welcome4:

First Phoebe and Cindy, Welcome. Jewel and Bentley say hello.

Please peruse the sight as there are many articles that may help with your questions and give you answers. Or you can post your question and I am sure one of us will chime in and provide advice, suggestions, moral support, etc. You are never alone here at the forum.

What you are describing is a reaction to something. Biggest culprit is food. I am not an allergy specialist but some one will help. A trip to the vet maybe in order. I will tag a few of our seasoned members (not excluding all our members): @2BullyMama @Marine91 [MENTION=2]bullmama[/MENTION] @Vikinggirl @ddnene @Manydogs

Again, welcome and enjoy the site. --rj

Hmm… that's interesting that both mom & baby have the same rash. Have you taken them to the vets? I would definitely want to get that checked out...

From your phone... you might want to use an app 'Tapatalk'... very ease to post pictures within that app.

:welcome3: to EBN .... hope you all feel better soon

Hi Cindy - I saw you posted the pics in another post, could you post them here too? I saw them... and I understand you have the same rash as Phoebe? Is that right? What food are you currently feeding her because the rash on her face looks like its an allergic reaction to something. Have you both been in contact with any poison ivy, or anything like that?

I saw the pics and it does look like an infection due to an allergie. I would definitely take her to the vet to get some meds for it.

Hi all,
Sorry. It took so long to reply.we have not been near poison ivy or anything it's really cold here I took Phoebe to the vet and he saying she has some type of bacterial infection so he put her on antibiotics also I am on the same antibiotic. I didn't think it was the food but maybe it is the food and I'm also allergic to it you know ..by handling it and I'm not sure if that's even possible ,but I'm at a loss because it doesn't seem like the antibiotic is clearing it up .we've been on it for 5 days now
I'm seriously looking into finding a vet around here that specializes in Bulldogs because I don't feel like I'm getting the right answers or he's even listening. Oxo still itchie in CT [emoji34]
