Hello friends,
For the past few months I've been trying to introduce my 10mo bully Gino to new foods, esp fruits and veggies. But he is having the hardest time tolerating foods. Within a day of giving him Cauliflower he broke out in bumps, excessive shedding to where he has bald spots, and itchy paws. I stopped Cauliflower and gave him Benadryl 1mg per pound. When that cleared up I tried Blueberries but got the same allergic reaction. Gave him benadryl until the symptoms subsided. Then I tried Colby-Jack cheese, but again same symptoms appeared so he got benadryl again. We have given him Frosty Paws as a treat in the past and seemed to do fine with that. But he didnt get any for the month of December and when we gave it to him in January he got bumps, bald spots, and itchy paws. Currently i bought him a Blue Buffalo Antler Chew and I have notice a few bumps appearing even though he's had antlers before and did fine with it. But again he didnt have an antler chew for sometime for whatever reason.
Is this all just the battle of allergies for the bulldog breed or am I dealing with something else? Is there anything I can do to help with allergies other than Benadryl? I want him to enjoy different foods, I don't want him to only have his Fromms kibble and Dog Butter for the rest of his life.
Any suggestions or comments is much appreciated. Thank you.
