allergy

Dear friends, it is now almost 3 months I started home cooking for my dog. As he had awful allergy, I had to go for very limited component diet. His allergy expressed in severe shedding, interdigital cysts, red runny eyes, red lips and cheeks, sores in nose rope and area under eye. The worst...

That's very uncharacteristic for him. He's been doing very well on Apoquel and rarely ever scratches. Knowing how quickly a waxy dirty ear can turn into something nasty he got a thorough ear cleaning and yes, his right ear was ready for maintenance. All is good now. I encourage everyone to...

Fezzik has been having a lot of problems with kibble or the environment. I'm not sure which and since he is under 2, allergy testing is not advised. His face and paws can become a deep pink. I am taking a look at the cleaners I use, but I am also taking a look at the food. Currently he is on...

Bella is a sweet but timid 7 year old English bulldog. She has allergies that are controlled with a special diet and monthly shots. She is good with dog-smart children who are not too rowdy with her. She is also good with calm dogs who do not overwhelm her. She's looking for a home, preferably...

I've been feeding my 5yr old female on raw for while with good results. Most of my blend is made up of chicken, i'd say 70% of it. I notice she licks at her feet alot and I'm thinking she may have a chicken allergy. So I want to switch to more of a beef diet but beef is very pricey. I am able to...

Hello everyone! Bruce my old year old bulldog started to get scabs on his back when we moved to Virginia from NH. Even while on antibiotics the scabs have continued although slightly better. I'm starting to lean towards a food allergy. He's eating Taste of The Wild Pacific Stream recipe. I...

Yes, I'm doing this! Started home cooking for Tank. It is our third day on home cooked food and at least what concerns his stomach, food works well for him. His tummy isn't upset and his poops were good so far. Why I decided to go home cooking/raw? I am tired. Tired of his skin issues, unstable...

Hey guys, just adding another chapter to the saga of buff, weve been off and on prednizone for along time now and were trying to get off it again for good but buff is already starting to itch alot and were still on the weening off stage. I have read alot of the allergy and itch treatment...

Hello all! I have a 7 1/2 yo English Bulldog, Brutus. We have been through the ringer this past year with allergies.

When i hug my bully or if he kisses me my arms, neck and chin are breaking out in 1/4 bumps all over. I take allergy pills and it goes away but it didnt happen until last night and today. Do you think he has a yeast problem? Or something?

Hi All, It's been awhile. Our Daisy has been doing great with the exception of 3 ear infections this year. First one was in November/December and was probably our fault, a little water may have gotten in her ear at bath time. Second one was July 1. Vet did the same thing as last time and...

About two years ago my bulldog starting to get what we thought were scrapes on his paws. I took him to the vet for his yearly shots and the vet told me that they were actually due to his allergies. We first tried to put him on allergy dog food with antibiotics. We tried that for a while and it...

Hey Everyone! I am on the hunt for a fun birthday cake recipe for my Franky's 1st birthday party in October! Pumpkin ones would be neat for the occasion since it will be Halloween themed!!! I am just beyond excited!!! The thing is, I'm researching him for possible food allergies right now, just...

My Bully Layla is 11 years and old and thankfully has lived most of her life without many of the typical bully issues related to skin. She has only been our bully the last two years (we adopted her form a rescue). However we do know she has a long history of scooting and dragging related to...

Hi all! We've been back and forth with the vet and I think I narrowed it down to allergies (I think..). It started this year around March. I noticed her hair randomly will fall out in small clumps. She's doesn't seem like she's in pain but will clinch if you touch or come close to touching the...

So now we too know what a hotspot looks like. Took Castor to the vet as he has itchy ears and has lost some fur on the top of his head and it turned out that apart from a minor ear infection (no antibiotics needed, just daily cleaning) he has developed a hotspot and they shaved the back of his...

I am new to this site and 1st want to thank you (all) for the wealth of knowledge I have found thus far. I landed here specifically due to my Bronx having severe allergies. We have him on a rabbit/duck food and he is taking Apoquel. Allergies flared up huge again and he is licking and...

Please welcome 39-pound, 6-year-old Haley to our rescue family. A volunteer for another local rescue group saw her available for free on Craigslist and did not want her to fall into the wrong hands. She snatched her up and called us. She is at the vet’s office now for shots, a heartworm test...

Ready to pull my hair out guys, I can not make a decision! My Franky has had some allergy symptons, lots of itching and a skin infection... so I decided to switch his dog food 4 days ago. And for the last 2 he has slowly developed a pretty vicious hot spot on his neck!!! I am attaching a...

So I have yet another question, I gave George 5mg of antihistamine yesterday at approx 5pm (the non drowsy kind) and he fell asleep about an hour or so after it. He is normally quite active between 5 and 8pm. He ate his dinner and went to the bathroom ok but just flaked out in general after the...

My Franklin just turned 8 months, he's a relatively big boy I think already at around 40 to 45 lbs. He is halfway thru an antibiotic for Puppy Pyoderma, and I am starting to wonder if it's due to an allergy, so I would like to switch him to a new adult food to try some options out. I've always...

I got Stellas allergy test results back today and she is allergic to dust and storage mites. The Vet is wanting to put her on allergy shots, but I'm thinking about trying the home cooking before I start her on those. Has anyone else had any luck with this? If so, what are some good recipes that...

So I am having some tummy issues with Gigi. She seems to really be sensitive. On and off over the whole time we've had her, she will have loose poops. Not diarrhea, just soft mush. I know, gross, right? Recently she had her spay and palate surgery and after that her stomach was a complete...

Our boy has A TON of allergies. We had a blood test done and of course he was allergic to everything. We've already taken care of the food allergies--he eats Nutrisca Chicken and Chick Pea recipe (this was the only food I could find that was free of all of his allergies). But he has a lot of...

Hi! My 8 month old English Bulldog Fiona has a bald spot on the back of her leg. I believe it all started when she ate pedigree a few weeks ago with a food allergy. She was scratching at her head and caused it to bleed. During this time she developed a bald spot on the back of her leg. Based on...

Boo our 6 year old is drinking too much water, a little lethargic, and sleeping more than usual. He has been on allergy meds for 3 months Hydroxyzine, that I do not think is the problem! any advice out there???:

"I gotted da ball!" She loves the kids light up ball :lol: Side question though... does it look like she has tear stains? Some days it looks like she does and other days it doesn't. I'm giving her Benadryl because her eyes watered more during the allergy season but she has NO signs of other...

Hello everyone, So we have now had our boy Mack for a little over a month now. When we first got him, he was on Royal Canin but since then has been switched over to Fromm puppy formula (pink bag). After the first few days of being on that, his forehead started getting pink along with bumps...

We brought Georgia home on Friday, and we just love her. I have a few questions: I am feeding her TOTW grain-free puppy formula that the breeder had her on. I am feeding 2x per day, 3/4 cup each time. However, she's not finishing it all at once. Maybe half at first then a little more 30 min...

Hi there. I adopted my first bulldog, Sarge on Saturday. He was chained up in someone's backyard for 4 years before I came along and after an hour of begging and $50 they let me take him home. He has yeast infections in his paws, wrinkles and up his legs, he has double ear infections, his...

Came across a great page on Bulldog Care. Great all bully owners. General Bulldog Care* The Bulldog is a very unique breed, the symbol of all things British. However, owning a bulldog is not as*straight forward as you might think. He is a totally man made breed and needs human company...
