Hi, we have had our bully baby Nelson now for 3 weeks now, he is 16 weeks old. We live in Dubai and we came by him through someone who had purchased him (not through a reputable breeder), having read up on various problems associated with imported pups I now understand that the allergy symptoms he is beginning to display are common with puppy farm pups. He is sneezing a lot in the morning, has red blotches on inside of his ears which he is scratching and more recently has developed a swelling on one of his eye glands which has caused the eye to be very red in the corner. At first I though it was cherry eye but the vet says it is an allergy symptom. He is now on steroids and antibiotics and eye cream to try and calm it down although it doesnt appear to be getting any better. I am about to switch his dog food to Royal Canin Hypoallegenic to see if this helps. Has anyone else experienced this at all in a pup and how did you deal with it? Any advice greatly received. I dont want to keep making visits to the vets for continued steroids if there is an alternative.
