irritated

I started Niko on a raw diet about two months ago. Initially we started him on rabbit and he did great, his folds cleared up, his nose got better, his fur started growing back. We did only rabbit for a month, then we tried alpaca and that irritated his folds right away and he got bumps...

Hi all, our 3 yr old Clementine has spots of pink irritation on her upper lip which just recently re-occurred. (See photo). The first time this happened was about 2 months ago, and we took her to the vet who gave her us Duoxo 3% Chlorhexidine pads to wipe on the spots twice a day. We've...

My dog developed a small red bump in his eye. It has irritated his eye and looks a bit red. Just happened in last few days. I have also noticed some drainage in the mornings. He has been acting normal and eating fine, doesn’t seem to be causing pain. Calling the vet tomorrow to take him in...

Hi All - I have a five year old male bully (Gunner) and we recently got a brand new bulldog puppy named Cooper who is now 7 months. My husband and I are at our wits end and need some information/advice from more experienced Bulldog owners. They are constantly going at each other... at first we...

Hey just wanted to pop in and give a good recommendation for bag balm as being a great rope/nose ointment. I normally use a triple antibiotic ointment on whopper and that does work OK but I just recently re-discovered bag balm and that is actually a much better remedy for a dry, cracked nose and...

Hi! I'm Rocky. I'm a nine year old English Bulldog but don't let my age fool you - I'm what you call "young at heart"! I came from a loving home where my previous owners were becoming too old to care for me. I've always known love and am happy to give it! Some of my favourite pastimes include...

Hi I am a newer member and also new to Bulldogs having just found my little guy a year ago. My bully plays with a neighbor's bulldog including biting and holding on to each other's faces and jaws. It appears that they're being gentle, there's no growling or signs of distress. However last night...

I’m becoming a regular on this health forum.. As I write this my Lola is snoring her head off on me. Her head is literally pushed up against mine. I noticed the other day a few flakes of skin on her back. In between her shoulders, only a couple of flakes. I put it down to her lying in front of...

Good afternoon all. I have a question but first just to keep you updated on Lola. She is doing really well since being spayed. The wound was infected but it has cleared up completely now. The laminate flooring has helped in my opinion with her allergies/scratching. She hardly scratches...

Well, here is Bacon post surgery. He is doing pretty good, but I did have a question. Since he has temporary paralysis of the right side of his face, he is drooling a lot more than usual. PLus when he drinks water, he gets pretty wet. I have been trying to keep his chin/neck wiped up, but...

Everyone loves a girl who knows what she wants, right? Well Mona, a four-year-old English bullie, knows what she wants, so keep reading to see if you can give Mona her perfect forever home! Mona came to SNORT after she was not getting along with the resident dogs in her home; combined with a...

I am new to the forum my name is cj my wife and I bought our first English bulldog last month at 8wks old. Just recently I sent a picture to a friend of mine and he said that I had been scammed that he is in fact not an english bulldog. Is anyone here willing to confirm that he is?

Hi, my name is Bishop - I'm about 5 years old, and I'm an old soul in a middle-aged dog's body. I am house trained and I LOVE my bed. I can hang out with other dogs and don't mind them at all. I have some allergies right now that have made my skin very irritated and red. But once my foster mom...

So, my rescue, Sumo was on beniful when I got him. I switched him over to Purina one ( lamb and rice) without knowing much about dog food to be honest. I never realized how different and unhealthy it can actually be, especially for this breed. Ive been researching for weeks on what food to go...

:help: Short summery here: Dooley is having a rough summer this year it seems. Couple weeks ago we were at the vet for his bi-annual right ear infection.I tell ya, these Louisiana summers play hell on a EBD ear canal no matter how clean you keep them. I guess one is better than both am I...

Hello. I'm a new OBE mom. I have an almost 8 week old puppy and his eyes seem irritated. He doesn't whine or scratch at them, and doesn't rub them. I can't tell if it's just tear stain or if they are swollen. We are feeding him Life's Abundance grain free "all life stages" food. He had been...

Louie will be 12 weeks old tomorrow and has been home for a week now. I have been wiping his folds and face once a day with witch hazel on a cotton pad. I'm trying to get him used to a daily face wiping which is a struggle with him, he gets so mad. His face is all white so I want to try to keep...

Does anyone know what might be causing my Bulldogs paw to swell up like this? For the past month his one of his rear toes has doubled in size and appears mildly irritated. I’ve checked his paws repeatedly and I can’t find any source of abrasion, cut, foreign object etc. Surprisingly it doesn’t...

Hey everyone!! When we got Reggie he was on Fish 4 Dogs white fish puppy food. We continued this until 2 weeks ago when Reggie started getting an upset tummy. He didn't quite have the runs but it wasn't far off. It continued for a few days so we took him to the vet and she said, based on the...

Hi all, We've only been on here for a few days, and I've been scouring the site looking for other bullys that show the same behaviour as our Reggie. I think its easier if I just start a new thread, as he has quite a few issues. Info about Reggie - Age - 19 weeks Weight - Just over 14kg Age...

We took Castor to the vet today because his ears were very red and irritated, and sure enough the poor little thing was diagnosed with an ear infection. He got something called cortavance which we hope will help. Anyway, the plan was to have him vaccinated against kennel cough / bordatella...

I found a little trick for my neurotic & stubborn bulldog to get out of bed in the morning and in the car without taking forever. Nico and I are not morning people/dogs, but I have to get up and go to work. Every work morning for the last 2.5 years I have to nag, beg and drag Nico off the bed...

My Maximus suffers from Entropion of both eyes. The Opthamologist wants to do Surgery, but financially that just is not an option, plus Maximus weighs 83-lbs. and is a Surgical risk, as he is considered Obese, and therefore would not be able to withstand Anesthesia. But his (L) eye, which had...

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 Everyone So yesterday was not a great day had to go to the vet for allergies related reasons. We have been many times before never had any issues then, we have yesterday. He was just a complete asshole and idk why. I have to wonder if it was because he was already irritated or if it was...

Chunky has irritated skin also... I am taking him to the vet at 330 to see what going on and it seem like he is having the same skin issues a lot of your alls pups are having. I first noticed it last night and wiped the spot on his lower neck area along with his skin folds with Malacetic hoping...

Has anyone dealt with demodex. We have been dealing with it for months on and off. The only time my dog isn't irritated by it is when he goes to the vet for a dip once a week. At $40 a dip, additional charge when he needs to see the vet, its expensive. I have been told to try Ivomectin. Anyone...

Hi everyone! So glad to be joining this forum. I've been reading and finally decided to post since I have a question. I brought Ms. Joni into our home on a trial basis two weeks ago. She's a 3 year old rescue (owner surrender) and she is just a doll! We make the adoption official on Saturday...

I have an English Bulldog, Dixie, who is 4 years old. I have had her since she was 12 weeks old. Over the past two weeks, Dixie has developed very irritated skin. She has had a hot spot or two in the past, but this is most of her body. She has rubbed a raw spot about 5"x5" on her lower back...

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...

I need some help. This is kind of long :( We took Murphy into the vet the 13th of April for a heartworm test-which was negative. But his chin was extremely swollen, due to acne but it was also irritated. They gave him a steroid shot and antibiotics,-cephalexin and had me get Zyrtec (1/2...

Has anyone tried wrinkle balm from the Natural Dog company (https://naturaldogcompany.com/product/wrinkle-balm/) Fezzik constantly has irritated wrinkle folds on his face from the drainage from his eyes. The drainage is clear, but I haven't found a way to prevent it yet. The only thing that I...

Hi, guys! Just came back from work and notice this "bumps" all over BIG, specially on his left side and back leg. Picture attached. He gets very irritated when I touch the bumps. They are probably itchy. Some info: we use Frontline once a month ever since he was 9 weeks old (he's now 8 months)...

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...

Murphy has had this smell on his back for the past 3 weeks. It is truly an indescribable smell. I thought it might be his anal glands but it's not. Washed him, it went away and then it would come back. We took him to play today and one of the dog trainers smelled and said it could be...

Is it just me, or do bullys tend to decline in health more rapidly than other dogs? Even little things... for example. i ran out of the medicated powder I put in Frank's face wrinkles. I ordered some on Amazon and figured he would be okay without it for 2-3 days. Here we are on day 2 and I...

Wondering if anyone has ever come across a skin sore that looks like this? It’s not a Hot Spot that’s for sure. This all started several weeks ago when I was running my hand through my Bulldogs coat and I notice a small red irritated circle in which the hair follicles came out easily. The...

Roxy has recently( within the last 7 days) become very itchy. We just returned from visiting my parents and I can only assume something has irritated her. She uses hypoallergenic shampoo along with medicated shampoo and already takes benadryl twice daily for allergies. She is rubbing and...
