I have a pic of Lola posted on the 1st page of this thread, and it looked just like that. Hers got real bad on one side, and then started on the other side. Noticed it on one side last Nov., took her to the vet in Jan. when she was diagnosed with SFA and was told to give her melatonin, started...

Doubt that it's a scratch. My bully scratched his eyeball while playing with my boston terrier, and he kept rubbing his face and wouldn't open his eye, and it just kept watering. It's very painful (happened to me once, too). My boston has a white spot on her eye that the vet found during a...

I used the Furminator on our golden retriever, cocker spaniel, and long haired cat to thin out thick areas and to get rid of matts, but I'm not sure why you'd need to use one on a short haired dog like a bully. You have to be really careful when you use the Furminator - if you go over the same...

Lola's little puppy butt the night we brought her home! Please ignore my husband's superhero pants!!

Could be a bug bite or sting. I'd take her in to the vet just to be safe.

My vet said 3 mg for dogs 26-100 lbs. He said it is also used to calm dogs who are afraid of loud noises, so I was a little worried - if Lola gets any more mellow, she'll be dead!! But I haven't noticed a change in her behavior. He recommended giving it to her before bed, but I've been giving...

My Lola is 2 and still goes in her crate when I'm at work. She can hold it all night and CAN hold it all day - when I'm home I'll put her out the same time in the morning (6:30am) that I do when i go to work, and sometimes I have to drag her off the couch at 5:30pm to get her to go out! But, I...

I, to, would tell her to p*** off and the law would be on your side. But, I would keep a close eye on your dogs for THEIR safety. We lived in a subdivision full of families with young kids and pets, and we happened to live next door to a couple who didn't like either! He started throwing dog...

Ok, so now I've been online to try and find melatonin suppliments for dogs, and I can't find any! The searches all say yes, indeed, that's the treatment for flank allopecia, but there doesn't seem to be a dog suppliment. Do you all give your dog an adult melatonin suppliment? Lola's not...

Our Lola also has a bald patch that I noticed a couple of months ago. She wasn't itching at all and the skin didn't look irritated at all, so I figured it would go away. But instead it's gotten worse - that's why I searched this forum and found this thread! I'd hate to switch her food, as we...

Our first bulldog, Chief, was all brindle with some white around his neck - alot like your JJ. We always noticed that Chief was "thinner" than the typical bulldog, although the vet would always comment about how healthy he was. He, too, was a registered AKC purebred. He had longer legs, and...

Have the same issue with my boston terrier. Her's is about 2 inches long and sticks straight out for about an inch and then curls like a pig's tail. Most boston's are like bullies and have just a flap. I like that she has a little stub that she can wag!! And she wags it all the time!! I...

We've had 2 bullies and both had what the vet described as "soft serve" stool, as its consistency was like soft serve ice cream. We tried multiple puppy foods with both and both cleared up after we started on adult food. I'm assuming the higher fat content in puppy food is too difficult for...

Lola is 15 mo. and has been trained for quite a while, meaning she hasn't had any accidents in the house while we're home. However, when she's in her crate she will pee and poop. When I'm home with her, she will go out around 7:30am and then will sleep all day long without going out until...

We have no problems with using a clippers and nail file, but we tried the Pedipaw and a dremmel, and the noise scared the crap out of both our dogs!
