allergy

So Bristol had a few tiny spots on the inside of her leg that looked like bug bites the very next morning they looked weepy and crusty so I called our vet. They saw her did a skin scrape and slide and sent out for a fungal culture. They said it looked like it could be hotspots but unsure of the...

Hi everyone! I haven't posted in a while because Farley has been doing so well with his Apoquel and allergy drops. I have now had two possible episodes with Farley having a seizure. The first episode happened about Sunday, (3 days ago) at 12:30 am. I heard a shuffling running sound with...

Castor has a new hobby - he is eating twigs and chewing on branches. Perhaps nutritious but the problem is that he sometimes throws up. He's not much of a chewer indoors but perhaps he needs something to chew on. The problem is that he's on allergy food, so for the time being meat bones and all...

We're having skin issues again with Betty. The first time around she was getting hotspots on her neck and had a scaly raised patch of dermatitis right above her tail. The vet gave us a 10 day course of antibiotics and steroid cream. The hotspots went away and the weird scaly patch went back...

Hi! I'm new to the forum! We have a 4 year old English bulldog that has allergy problems. She is constantly itching and her eyes get severely matted with mucus. We have changed her food many times. Any suggestions would be helpful Thanks!

Hello, Winston just started allergy injections after testing to control his skin issues - he was super itchy. Just wondering if anyone has done this and had success or any issues. Thanks!!

I need advice because I am frantic. Over a week ago I took my bully Otis to the vet because his eye was very swollen, he was squinting and pawing at it. The vet said it was border line entropion and sent me home with some drops to see if it helped. I will have to admit that putting the drops in...

Good Afternoon, I feel bad that I seem to only post when something is going on with my baby... We recently changed his food from taste of the wild salmon to Acana duck and barlett pear, and now ive noticed his nose rope getting red. We initially switched his food because he had a red spot on his...

I think my boy just likes to keep us on our toes! Gus normally gets allergies in the summer (we have always lived in places with 4 seasons, and now we are in California lol!) and since changing his dog food, his paws stopped being red. I noticed the past week or 2 he was licking them again, and...

I currently have Goob on Wellness Core Ocean. He was on Nature's Instinct Raw Boost Lamb and Venison for about six months but I took him off of it a little over a month ago. His ears were getting VERY dirty, very quickly. He started scratching at them so much that I thought he was developing a...

We have a meeting this weekend to see how Odin (19 month old male) gets along with a 3 year old female rescue. She is on her third home :( first home newborn baby has an allergy, so not the dogs fault at all. The second home who she currently is being fostered by decided not to keep her because...

8/7/15: Please welcome Penna! She came into rescue with a house mate Cashton. One of their owners passed away forcing the other owner to move into a place that did not allow dogs. The owner handed them over to a friend of friend and this person contact us to take them in. We are not sure if...

Hello everyone! Brand new here so I do apologize if this has been asked before or this topic has come up. I am a proud mommy to an almost 9 year old English Bulldog. We rescued him from a friend who purchased him from a dog store. So let me start out that he has had issues from day 1! Allergy...

So our little bully has been doing great with food, shampoo, treats etc. really no issues. Everyone usually comments on how his fur is so soft. I know I'm getting ahead of myself but our spring and Summer's here have the highest concentrated pollen in Oregon. Or at least that's what the source...

So we have 2 3 year old bullies and decided to foster one that came up from a rescue in North Carolina in bad shape. 80 lbs ( vet says he has to lose at least 20 ) and obvious allergy yeast issues. His name was Jojo but we changed it to Mojo ( He needs to get his Mojo back! ) We've had him for 3...

Hello All, My 6 yr old EBD Harley is/was sneezing constantly and reverse sneezing a lot. She doesn't do it when sleeping or lying down with us. She is lethargic around the house and is sleeping more than usual. She seems a little out of sorts. She is not playing with my other EBD at all, like...

Food Allergies in Dogs Nothing to sneeze at: food allergies and your dog–signs, symptoms and what to do By Elizabeth Pask and Laura Scott Is your dog itching and scratching? Does she have frequent ear infections or poor coat quality? You could be contributing to your dog’s distress without...

There are so many benefits to write about when it comes to using ACV, for yourself and for your pet, but I will keep this strictly canine candid. There is a very informative piece by Dr. Alicia McWatters, Ph.D., C.N.C. on the BRAGG* website. The link is included at the bottom, along with other...

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum. I have a five month old English Bulldog. Over the past 2 months she developed this chin rash. She is also scratching her belly/torso frequently, sometimes it results in scratches. We are currently feeding her Lamb and Lentil Fromm but we were mixing it...

Hi guys! I was just thinking of you all the other day driving, super busy. Then this happened...... Backstory, Bentley has his neuter surgery and everything went great. They did notice that his tonsils were a little swollen and they blamed it on his allergies we are trying to narrow down. He...

My poor Geno is scratching a lot, even until he bleeds behind his ears and under his chin. He is also licking his paws a lot more than ever. I thought he had maybe a seasonal allergy, but now im wondering if it's his food. He is on Fromm Beef fritatta for a month now. I didn't think of it at...

For the most part, Goob is the picture of health. He used to eat Merrick Grain Free Buffalo but two months ago, we switched him to Nature's Variety Instinct Raw Boost (Venison and Lamb). He made the switch very well. He has firm regular poop, he isn't itchy, and he seems to love the food...

Hi there. I'm looking after my friends bulldogs for an undetermined amount of time. I've switched them to raw as my friend always had allergy issues with them. So far so good except that one seems allergic to chicken (hotspots and goopy eyes). I've been feeding raw for 11 years and haven't had a...

Hi everyone, I posted before about the problems I'm having with Dozer and his allergies. He started out on Fromm's Chicken, and did not do well on this, he was allergic right away, we switched to Fromm's Beef Frittata, and both Dozer and Blossom did well on this food for about 2 years, then...

10 1/2 yo Bully, usual allergy problems. She does the reverse sneezing , every now and then, where she's like trying to snort and clear her nose. But has never had it happen like this. It's like there's a blockage or something, but can't think of how / what / when it would have happened. THE...

Hi Everyone, I'm new here. Maybe someone here has had the same issues. I'll try to keep it short...but no promises ;) We rescued our bully, Frankie, back in April. We were told at that time to feed him Earthborn Holistic Meadow Feast. So we did. However he always had very loose stools that...

Diva has always had issues keeping her food down after every meal , she will consume the food and app 2 mins after finishing it up it comes , she then eats it up again and normally stays down the second time . We have had her to our vet many many times for this and tried many different things ...

Scanning through the threads I see most people refer to a yeast smell as "fritos" or "corn chips" which I understand 100%. But Opie when he gets little infections they don't smell like that. They smell more sour. Is this something other than yeast? In between Opies toes often get pretty red so...

Bella has been on Fromm Grain-Free Lamb & Lentil since she graduated from Fromm Puppy 6 months ago. For the past 3 weeks to a month, she's been licking her paws super obsessively. Also, her tear stains have gotten really bad. Occasionally, I'll feed her Canidae biscuits (turkey, quinoa...

We want to put PB in our Roxy's chew toy but are scared that she may have an allergy. Anyone had luck with it or are EB's prone to being allergic?

Hello! My name is Jen and I'll be caring for my friends bulldogs while she and her husband go through some serious medical issues. I predict to have them at least six months. They're littermate sisters, Pepper and Penny, two years old. I have dogs of my own, rottweilers and boston terriers and...

My 10yo female has been on California Natural Kangaroo for a couple of years due to protein allergies. For the most part, she'd been ok, but seems to have allergy issues, i.e. paw licking, ear scratching, scooting, etc.... I just got her Zignature kangaroo today, wondering if anyone has any...

I have often come to this website for advice but this past year's health problems have made me join up so I can post! My husband and I got our dog Boudreau from a breeder when he was two years old, he is now five and up until November 2014 was in perfect health. I would read all the bulldog...

I think Mr. Chubbs has fall allergies. He is almost two, so not sure as he has only lived through one fall so far and he isn't old enough to be allergy tested (nor do I wish to pay for allergy testing if I can avoid it). He was having skin issues on his face last fall too. But his face has been...

Hello ! I recently started my bulldog on a beef and vegetable raw diet created by a local meat packer. The beef doesn't contain any bones - we were told the shards are apparently too heavy for dogs to digest and too also too large, which may pose as a choking hazard. The turkey and chicken...

Hi! I have read everything I can find for allergies and I suspect my 8 yr old boy has some allergy, but we are having trouble and I am wondering if you can recommend a next step for us. Just a little history. Spring 1 & 2 with us, he had diarrhea and we did a basic allergy test with no results...

Hi everybody! My husband and I recently adopted a 2.5 yr old English Bulldog from the Humane Society. My whole life I've grown up around these dogs, but there is nothing that could have prepared me for Bubbles (my baby). She was severely underweight, had flea allergy dermatitis, was used for...
