licking

I know there are a lot of posts on this, but I just wanted to make sure I am doing things correctly. I do not bath my bullies face or ears when I give him a bath. Should I be? I check his face once a day and wipe it clean of food and make sure I dry him after he drinks when I can. Every 1-3...

Hey everyone, I know this topic as been discussed to great lengths over the years and I'm just curious on peoples feedback. I did some searching on the forum and there are a lot of answers and good suggestions but not sure if I'm finding the answer I'm looking for. I know switching of the food...

Hi all. I'm new to this site. Hoping for some help with some issues we are having with our girl Bella. Bella is 10 years old and in general has been in pretty good health aside from typical bulldog skin/allergy issues. For this she had been treated with prednisone seasonally to help with general...

I just finished reading g8erjackie post about Regina going into heat and Jackie panicking. It was a very helpful thread, and the advice from raghu made me laugh! It's the middle of the night, and I'm not sure if Sophie is going into heat or not. She is almost 8 months old, and I have an...

I totally missed this Kodak moment but if you use your imagination you will be able to picture this ... I feed my babies in kennels just because my sweet Molly is a bit of a piggly wiggly girl and will hurry to eat her food then try to get to Diesel's food too. The kennels are in what I call...

Sup guys!!.. Bogey has been awesome since we've picked him up last week and he's adjusting well.. He came to us with a blocked tear duct and for the past few hours his eye has been getting pretty red.. More than usual... Only thing I can think of is we gave him some beef liver and green beef...

Bubba is 9.5 months old. He is doing very well in his training as far as crate, house, socialization, and traveling. We have even gotten to where he will roam/sleep freely at night. The problem is his continual licking of our skin. Day or night he always seems to want to like our skin. Can...

Mr. Chubbs has three white toes that have always had white nails. They are starting to grow out a reddish-black color. Not sure if this is a sign of a problem or not. He is also having problems with allergies that have involved the skin on his face and the areas in between his toes. He is...

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...

If anyone here has had bulldogs with severe skin conditions can you post what worked for you? Poor Brutus is a paw-chewing ear-scratching mess. Vet recommended he have no meat whatsoever and we bought Iams vetrinary formula skin and coat + but that just turned his skin irritation from pink to a...

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...

Hello. I've noticed that Amber (my EBD) has rough paws and they almost look hairy. I've applied coconut oil which helps a bit with the roughness but they're still hairy looking. I've never seen such a thing but when I search online hyperkeratosis pops up. Does anyone have any experience with...

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...

So it's been just over 2 months since we picked up Lockjaw and just over 2 weeks since we got Penny! They are soooo much fun!! I think they have finally gotten used to one another. We even caught Lockjaw licking Penny's face today - without any coconut oil or egg residue- LMBO! And Penny has...

She might actually hate me now. :evil: I gave her Benadryl and put the cone of shame on her so that she'd stop licking her paws, which I sprayed with Vetericyn. (They were getting red from her licking.) It's a soft cone, at least. I also purchased Epsom salt for soaking the footsies.

So Tipsy all of the sudden is limping on the front right paw. She doesn't want to put pressure on it. I notice she was licking it and as I went to look at the paw, the snatched it away as if it was hurting her. I can't get her to the vet until tomorrow, is this something major? Should I inspect...

I switched Dozer and Blossom to Fromms Lamb and Lentil about 9 months ago, and they were doing well, but now Dozer is showing signs of allergies again. He's licking his paws until they're soaked and soggy, his eyes are goopy again, his nose is dry, and he's scratching at his neck and ears. I'm...

Ok so I love my Bentley. I'm frustrated with myself that he is annoying me. It's probably a bulldog mama thing, but my guy can do no wrong,;) just kidding... Ok. Help please! If there is skin available, mostly my skin. For example when he jumps up to sit on the couch with me, he will not stop...

My Olive ball 😋 is itchy and her skin looks pink and has also been licking her paws. We've now had her two weeks on the 27th and her previous owner had her on Blue wilderness chicken so I changed it to Orijen six fish on the 19th I believe. How long until she stops having the allergy symptoms or...

We all know that bullies are OCD. Well, Bella likes to lick skin, especially toes and feet. I never try to stop her because it seems harmless enough. Well, we had company yesterday and she was going crazy over their toes, which they didn't really appreciate. :ashamed: I don't want her licking...

It is raining yet again in Northeast Ohio, was 1 of the wettest Junes in history. I've noticed that our 10yo Bully is licking paws more than ever, and pawing at both eyes. She was just at the ophthalmologist so no distichia. Could there be a link from all the rain and ground being so wet...

My dog has been licking at the air or it seems like it for a couple of days. It's off and on but keeping her awake. I looked at her nose and mouth and couldn't find anything wrong. She's been really skittish lately too. Usually she follows me everywhere or I can pick her up and move her but...

Help! anxiety, compulsive licking/pacing/rough play a lot of issues going on here. let me try and sum it up best I can. frank is seeming really anxious lately. and for the past few days he won’t hang out with us in the living room. usually every night he’ll come up and snuggle with me on my...

I have been reading these posts about food lately and I get a little anxious about it. It didn't used to make me feel anxious when I was feeding my guys Orijen food as I thought it was a great food. Here's how I got to where I am today, anxiety running rampant. We got Henry on Christmas eve...

Hello everyone what's good for terrible paw licking..my bully is licking like crazy . thanks in advance

Wally has been shedding a LOT the last couple of weeks… I'm really stumped on this one. He's on Fromm's Beef and I also ordered some Pork and Peas. His stools look good, ears are good, minor paw licking (which I think is just from him playing in the pool water… Lol). He DOES have tear stains...

Ok....queezy stomachs and faint hearted stop reading, im sorry for asking this but its got me worried. Right, my little boy isnt very well and has diarrhea, me him and Bruce have just been in the garden to get him some fresh air and Oliver was sat on the decking and then Bruce started sniffing...

Elsa has no allergic reactions that I can tell, knock on wood. Clean clean skin and fur, so clean that if theres lint on her we'd see it in a sec. But whenever shes chewing on something it ALWAYS leads to her licking her paws and I've always wondered why the general consensus is that paw...

Arrrrgh my partners been watching the soaps tonight and Bruce has been fast on, rachels gone to bed and ive put Ghost Hunters on and he wont sit still....been outside to the toilet 3 times, licking everything im asking him not to, trying to go upstairs and running in and out of the curtains so...

Here is and odd one. My aunt appears to be allergic to Duchess. But the thing is, we have other dogs in the family, including my Aunt's dog, Shitzus, Labs, and she has no reaction to them. She gets small, itchy bumps, and some redness. We tested it last night with Duchess licking one arm and...

Hi friends :) I had a question regarding my fathead. You'd think we'd be thankful his biting and chomping have stopped, and that he seems to have replaced it with licking, but it does bring up some questions for me. I mean he licks EVERYTHING. I can't really tell if it's just who he is or if...

Hey just had a general question. Does anyone elses bulldog constantly lick? either his/her paws/legs or blankets around the house? Our dog has been doing it more and more and i was looking for advice on things i could use to help make her stop licking. not sure if shes licking because she...

Lately I've noticed that when my husband is home and we sit on couch, Bennie comes to sit by me and he starts to stare at Boeboe, licking his mouth, drooling and the hair on his back is standing up like he's ready to attack her. Last week he even stared my husband out like that:( It sucks. It's...

Hi my name is Beth. My husband, daughter and I own an 8 yr old English Bulldog names Bella. She has many gealth issues such as skin allergies being her main problem. She has had the infamous cherry eye. She had a severe uterine infect a few years ago that lead to her emergency hysterectomy. She...

Hi All! I have a couple questions about potentially changing Effie's food. When we first got her at 9 weeks she was eating Nutro Max. We gradually changed her over to Blue Buffalo Wilderness Bison (for puppies). She seems to really love the food, and her stools were harder (she had very soft...

In the later part of the day yesterday, I noticed Bruno who is 4 months old. His skin on his face, chest, head, ears, legs and inside of his back legs and belly was all blotchy pink/red. At our last visit he had a couple pimples inside his back leg the doctor said not to worry about it just like...

Almost 10 yo female, has bouts where she'll be sleeping / resting, then wake up and start licking air extremely fast!! She isn't licking her nose, just sticking tongue out enough.. Her head really doesn't move around.. She just lays there and starts licking really fast, short licks... Thanks
