Hello
I am inquiring about what you all use to help with wrinkle folds and infections.
My 7 month old english bulldog, Pamfilo, has redness between his eye and nose rope. He doesnt have any tear stains, and the area is not swollen. Its mostly reddish and wet.
I clean his folds daily, usually with a dry cloth to keep them from being wet. Once he started to get redness and started scratching on his face I bought some witch hazel and wipe his wrinkles with that once a day. It started to clear up for a while, but then looked infected one day. I used MalAcetic HC dog wipes to clean the infection up once a day for a few days. It went away, but then yesterday it looked like his skin was rubbed raw from all the wiping and was red and inflammed. I started to clean the fold and put coconut oil on it to see if it helps. It did for a day and now he is back to having really wet and red, now slightly raw looking in between his wrinkle. This is only in between the skin under his eye and his first nose wrinkle.
I really dont know what to do, he keeps itching and causing large scratches next to his face- We cut his nails so that scratching doesnt cut him but when we get home he has new cuts. I dont think its allergies because we dont use chemicals around the house and he is on Taste of the Wild Salmon puppy food and has responded really well to that. This just started two weeks ago and Im starting to really worry about him.
Any suggestions on how to keep the area dry/ infection free? Or what I should try next?
