Wow, I feel for you and Cooper. A lot of us have been down this road and I'm still on it. Although I do have him on the right food it's the environmental allergies (grass and weeds) I battle. After increasing Wilsons Benadryl it has been much better now. He gets probiotics, flaxseed oil, and some other things and his coat is so thick and healthy but it's his paws that I have to worry about. I seem to have it under control with that hibiclens wash (I got it at Target but you have to go to the pharmacy and ask for it as it is not in the general aisle) and then an antiseptic spray I got from the vet. He also gets optimmune ointment for one of his eyes and the other I just use moisturizing eyedrops because his eyes get red with the allergies. But you know we just got to Keep on Truckin' for our bulldogs even if it hurts the pocketbook.
Thank you! I will look into that stuff also. I am willing to try anything. i thought about sock for him because I am pretty sure grass is one of his big allergies and I don't know if that is what is causing the toe issues or not.... you should have saw my hubbies face when I said I was going to get him socks I think he thinks I am crazy. I think I would go broke trying to get my Cooper healthy. I regretted after I got Cooper that i hadn't gotten a bully long before now. But at this point it is probably a good thing cause I would not be able to have afford all these vet bills 5-6 years ago. I am trying to talk the hubby into letting me foster bullies but it is a work in progress.... We will see but I really do want too!! I am probably going to be trying to have another skin baby soon so it might have to wait. But I just love bullies so much and my Cooper has just stolen my heart....and gracie has too . I care and love these bullies more than I could have imagined!
I got a little mad at coop the other night. He bit my 2 year old and I know it was probably my 2 year olds fault cuz he is rough but Cooper bit him pretty good and pretty hard on the arm and punctured with all four fang teeth and it was black and blue. I have never had a dog bite any of my kids and I have had a lot of dogs. My other dog I trust completely that he would never bite any of my kids regardless of how rough they get. But with coops sore butt and everything I dunno if my son hit him or hit is but with something but he did bite him. I yelled and him and put him in the kennel so he pouted. Right after he bit my son he chewed on his antler like he did nothing wrong. he is such a lover so I am saying this is my fault and I need to keep better eye on my son when he is around coop. I tell him all the time to leave cooper alone and stop being so rough. Maybe he will learn from the bite to leave him alone. I let Coop outside after he was put in kennel for 5 minutes and he was still pouting outside. It is so funny to me that he is so emotional and gets his feelings hurt so easily. SO then of course I felt bad and was giving him loveys,
