How many of you have horses and bulldogs? I was wondering do your bullies eat horse manure? How much those bullies or other dogs have skin disorders and allergies?

Hello Bulldog Parents!!! So! I am currently battling possible allergies with my precious itchy Franky. On the hunt for the best possible probiotic on the market to beef up his immune system (so it matches his beefy chest hehe) I prefer powder form is all, so please fire away folks! Several...

I'm okay cleaning the pee and poo, I have a big box of puppy pads coming. I'm okay with accidents in the crate. I'm not okay with her rolling in it, and covering every inch of the crate with her dookie! Also, I have to keep giving her baths and I know that's not good for her skin. I'm convinced...

I have a female english bulldog who is almost 2. We just brought home an 8 week old E.B. puppy, this is their 3rd day together. She has progressed a lot from when we brought him home, enough to where she feels comfortable playing with him. HOWEVER, she likes to play rough, and so does he. They...

Expert raw feeders, please help! Castor eats raw - we buy frozen lamb meat and organs and top up with dried carrots. Skin and digestion wise we seem to have found something that works well so I'm not looking into changing anything, only giving the guy more food. The recommendations for raw...

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...

Hey all....last week I noticed a hard spot about the size of a quarter just behind where his collar rests. I thought it was just a spot of dry skin but kept my eye on it. This morning we woke up to it being enlarged, about 4"×2" and leaking pus and blood. It doesn't seem to bother him and...

I noticed 5 small cysts on my 5 month old male Bully's shoulder area this week. He has been wearing a harness most of the day the past couple of months since he goes outside every chance he gets (boy loves the sunshine). I brush him several times a week and pet / play with him daily so these...

My April has a torn ACL and they quoted me $7,000 to fix it. They diagnosed it at the animal hospital without an xray. What is the best procedure? and how long is the recovery? I am really concerned this will be her 3rd surgery this year and she is only 19 months. She was spayed, both eyes...

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 english bulldog is developing some type of rash, I think it might be food allergy someone accidentally fed some salmon food from walmart so I was thinking it might be that. What are some solutions to this problem?

My English Bully developed these hives about 10 days ago. See attached pic. I took him to the vet 10 days ago and the vet told me that he thought it was some kind of skin infection - like a fungal infection. He sent us off with an anti bacterial shampoo. I thought this was a bit weird, but I...

Hey bully lovers! My 8 month old is limping or hobbling. At first we thought he may have sprained his leg, from jumping off a bed, couch or running around. 2 weeks ago he was limping but i had him take it easy and he felt better. Yesterday it started happening again. I looked inside all of his...

My 8 year-old bulldog Cash has been very heathy until last January. I noticed his ear was red and hot. Vet gave him a antibiotic in his ear, Prednisolone and told me she believed it was from allergies, (only the left ear is infected, right is fine). We changed his food but the ear did not get...
