No kidding huh? Sure would eliminate a lot of guessing games. I'm really leaning toward him rubbing it off. Time will tell though.I wish these Bullies could talk! It would make life so much easier. Sorry to hear you have a spot Wilson.
I found the same thing on Watson today after I gave him a bath. The skin is black.

David, that might be it, the rubbing. He does that constantly now since he has to wear his harness. He's been on the new food long enough now for that not to be it. I didn't think of the rubbing. I'll focus in on that now in case that's it.
That skin looks like it is rough or has raised areas - does it? If yes, you may want the vet to do a skin scrape to rule out any issues
I think it's the picture quality is a bit grainy, it is smooth and on the flank right in front of his hind legs. He has a matching spot on the other side as well. He is not bothered by it all. I haven't seen him rubbing anything.
He has had issues with hives and hotspots in the past, really bad ones. But none since he has been on merricks grain free pork which he has been on for 8 months or so.
I think it may be seasonal flank alopecia. He stays inside most of the time and doesn't get much sunshine. If things look worse, I will have the vet take a look at it, thanks for the input.

Jeannie - i was looking at Emma's pictures, her face/folds - OUCH! That is exactly how Banks looks when she has chicken, salmon or white potatoes

If there was ever a person who would be the one to take Wilson, you'd be it!
I'm wondering if it's the white potatoes? Could be the salmon oil (she still gets some from time to time) but I don't thing the Salmon Oil is it. I'm going to move her on the new Fromm food that you found as soon as it's available on Petflow. She must have a high pain tolerance too, the sores never seems to bother her at all.
