Hi everyone. Recently new member here. I have an 8 month old pure English Bulldog puppy named Lincoln. I am posting to get some insight on a skin issue he’s been having. A few months ago, I noticed on his back near his butt, he had a few crusty/scaly bumpy yellowish spots that I didn’t think...

I noticed this raised firm area on my bulldogs neck a long time ago. It is not associated with any other signs (no loss of hair etc). They now seem to be getting larger and there are a ton of growths out of it. You can not see it until you pet him then you notice it right away. Also when they...

Bella's face and neck have been like this for a while. First I tried Veterycn, which did absolutely nothing. Then the vet put her on Temaril and Cephalexin, but it's not helping much at all. She's been on Apoquel for months now, too, which has been a miracle for controlling her allergies...

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...

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...

My Franklin was diagnosed with Puppy Pyoderma on June 20th, prescribed antibiotic and shampoo. I was questioning giving him his needed dose of flea meds today, when I checked the area and realized he has a pretty big scab right where we apply the meds! I'm wondering if this is what caused the...

Hello everyone! We moved from NH to VA and about two weeks after arriving we started to notice scabs on Bruce's back. He is playing like normal, has a good appetite and is drinking. He doesn't seem to be scratching any more than normal and doesn't even seem to mind the few times that I have...

I need to buy a new couch. Right now we have leather or fake leather. I am wondering what is best for scratches and dog hair. I like cuddling on the couch with him so I guess he is allowed on any furniture but the bed. Should I invest in a couch cover? I have to get one for the chair because he...

I'm just wondering if I should trim his paw hair. I think it may help with traction on the hardwood and tile floors that don't have rugs.

Hi Everyone! I am a newbie to owning an English Bulldog and to this site. Some history: my daughter asked for a Kingston Cocker Spaniel, her dad brought her an English Bulldog :no: At first we weren't really sure if we were happy, but oh how he has grown on us!!! :D Meatball is his name, but we...

Hello! i found your fab forum after a Google search, and was hoping someone might be able to offer some advice. Our lovely dog, Ralph, had a lateral suture op a month or so ago and our vet reassured us that his hair would return pretty quickly, however only a very small patch has returned...

in VA, was Luke. Some here might remember me mentioning him in a thread about drool and messy water bowl manners. "Loogie Luke"was a mess for sure. His whole face went into the bowl and every time he finished drinking he'd shake off the excess. It would fly everywhere. That made a HUGE...

Hello! We are giving our 7 mo old girl Bernice Consequin DS for her hips, just to make sure they are healthy as they do a bit of clicking! We noticed people raving about the Nuvet products. Was curious if the Nuvet plus helped with hips and joints as well or if you had to get nujoint for that...

Around a year old we decided to switch Cupcake over to adult food, and decided to change her from Merrick's since the company had been bought out by Purina. Ultimately we chose to switch her to Taste of the Wild (Salmon). Shortly after making the switch we began noticing excessive shedding and...

Ok so now it's Raven's turn to scare the beejebus out of me. She had been battling a yeasty ear for a while and I decided to take her off of the Acana Grain Free Pork and put her on the limited ingredient Lamb version. Well the ear seemed to be doing much better but I have noticed for a while...

I have attached the best photo I can of these 2 patches on Georges back they are about the size of a fingerprint I can't say they are bald but the hair is thinner where they are. The skin is sort of grey underneath from what I can see. He doesn't appear to be trying to scratch it but then again...

I've been a member of this sight for about 4 yrs now and have always read the forum but never posted until now. Sullivan my English bulldog is 4 yrs old now and always healthy besides getting hot spots since he was about 2 1/2. Always starts out as a spot that gets flakey then crusty hair falls...

I notice my dogs hair thinning in April of 2015. Went totally bald by July in both spot on both flanks. Still waiting for it togrow back. On one of the spots the black color is beginning to turn greyish in the middle and appears to be drying out. Is there an ointment or lotion for this...

I still see dog owners buying "rawhide" for their dogs. I do believe these owners have no clue what's in rawhide and just plain clueless. So, for the ones that really have NO clue how rawhide is made, maybe after reading this article i fell on and well explained, you go walk around the house...

Hi there! I have a 2 1/2 white English that developed an ear infection almost a year ago and it wont go away. I took him to the vet and they have given him everything and nothing works (antibiotics, Zinc etc..). At this point the vet told me its a life long chronic ear infection and that all I...

Any of your bulldogs have this hair loss on the side??

I just noticed on brutus that he has a spot of hairloss on each side of him. Ruthie has the same thing. When i took her to the vet last week for her ear, i brought it up. We noticed a dark spot on her getting darker and the vet said it looks like hair loss and that she's not concerned, she...

So either I shed way too much, my vacuum isn't powerful enough, or I don't vacuum enough. I thought I was doing well with the latter. My hair is currently down to my shoulders, but it has been as long as mid back before. About once a month, when Fezzik is going potty he runs away and sits down...

Hi there everyone! Im sorry for my bad English and grammar. I have English bulldog - male - 1-1/2 years old. Few months ago I noticed for some hair missing on his front led went to vet and it's sloved by steroids and antibiotics. Before 1-2 months I saw on his stomach some huge circle (his...

Hi I am new here -4 years ago we got our first Bullie from a rescue. No one could age her as she had worn her teeth down to nubs but the best guess was she was 3 or 4 at the time. So now 7 or 8. She has been such an amazing addition to our family. Behavior wise a super star and health wise so...

Each time I blow dry my hair, Nyala comes running in the bathroom and wants the blow dryer on her. I always blow my hair head down towards the floor upside down and when im in that position (get you mind out of the gutter) she will claw me with her paw and hit the blower till it's almost out of...

Hi! i have two questions for anyone having dealt with either of these issues. My bulldog has always had mucus in the morning, especially when it's cold weather. But it seems worst this year. She gurgles and then tries to cough it up. But she's fine as soon as she wakes up and gets going. One...
