Poor guy! My French bulldog, jazzy, who passed away earlier this year of cancer, came to us after spending almost two years in rescue being nursed back to health. She has severe mange and was bald her whole life. But she had been on the streets for a long time before she was found and was a...

I use HyLyt dog shampoo for Joni. We have to bathe her pretty frequently due to allergies and this stuff keeps her skin from drying out. It has fatty acids in it to moisturizer. I order from Amazon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh my! So so so cute. Congrats! What about Violet or Bonnie? I also like bluebell and considered it for my Joni (boyfriend vetoed). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You two have been so helpful! I'll see if I can shave the affected areas. She's pretty easy going so I think I can make it happen. Thanks so so much.

It's looking a bit better this morning, but there's some crustiness developing. Not sure if it's just the ooziness matting on her fur, or could it be yeast? Here's a pic:

Question. I have an appointment set up for this on Saturday. If this treatment is working, should I still take her in to the vet? Of course I want her seen but the bully vet is almost an hour away and it's supposed to be mid 90s on Saturday. I have AC in the car of course but not sure how cool...

Awww, yeah. She's definitely calm and drowsy—but at least she's not scratching at her legs!

Benadryl really knocks her out!

Thanks for checking in! She's looking a little better today after lots of Vetericyn and a couple doses of Benadryl. But she has one on the other leg now too, and she's walking a little funny, probably from the pain. :( I'll keep up with this treatment and keep you all posted! Thanks so much for...

Sounds like a plan! Hope it's not the coconut oil because boy does she love it! She's 47 pounds on last weigh in, so I was thinking of starting with 25mg of Benadryl. Sound about right?

Thanks so much for your response! She seems really itchy and miserable, and now I'm seeing that another hotspot is staring on the other leg. :( You totally confirmed my plan of action, so thank you for that! I just got back from picking up both Vetericyn and Benadryl, so I'll move forward with...

Hi all, My new addition, Joni, was on antibiotics for two weeks for skin infections related to allergies as well as some interdigital cysts that were starting. Meds seemed to take care of it all! She's been off of them for a week, and I came home from work to this: It looks BAD!!! And it...

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear you lost your Spartacus! We lost our French Bulldog at the end of May, and adopted our Joni (english bulldog) 3 weeks ago. It felt quick, but it also felt meant to be. Your little Spartacus sent you Maximus. What are the chances that you'd find a rescue bulldog—and be...

Thanks all! What a great, welcoming community! Joni appreciates the advice so that we can take the best care of her!

Thanks, 2BullyMama! We love her too! ANNNND, Joni's adoption became official on Saturday! She's here to stay!
