I just rescued a 2-3 year old bulldog a few days ago. I got her in a sorry state - big scabs I thought was mange, cherry eye with massive infections and very skinny.I took her to the vet and vet said her skin was clear for mange but it was likely allergic reaction to food. I've been reading and reading and it seems like bullies can be allergic to near everything! We made the mistake of feeding her our dog's Purina kibble for 3 days. Her last meal of it was this morning. Now I know better. She has not been scratching or grooming herself at all since we got her.In effort to help our 2 girls get along I gave them pieces of roasted turkey breast this morning. Both thought it was pretty grand. About 1 hour later Daisy started farting like crazy then itching her sides until they bled. I put a shirt on her to stop her.Unfortunately where I live it is impossible to get grain free dog food this weekend so I'm trying out some raw feeding of chicken, egg, snap peas and carrots. She really liked it. She started itching again and looking like she wanted to scratch all over. I washed her with anti - itch shampoo but she's still scratching and now chewing her feet.So would an allergic reaction happen that fast that she may be allergic to poultry or is it more likely her 3 days of Purina is the culprit? Her skin has improved so much since we got her it breaks my heart to see her scratching herself bloody all the sudden.
