Hi everyone,

I am a owner of a 7 year old English bulldog and most recently a 10 week English bulldog named Bowser.

We got Bowser 2 weeks ago, upon arriving home we noticed some small bumps under his armpits which then spread to his chest. They started off scabby, some red, and some just feeling bumpy.

We took him to the vet. They did a skin scrape which showed nothing. They put him on antibiotics just in case, did a mite protocol just in case, and gave us medicated shampoo. Some of the bumps aren’t super inflamed anymore but he’s still losing more and more hair/thinning everyday.

He eats royal canine food per the vet. House is super clean, and has had minimal exposure to public places as we were told to wait until this next round of shots.

He’s super energetic, stool sample came back fine, and appears healthy.

But his coat and skin is taking a beating. Any advice? Is there hope his coat will grow back? We didn’t experience this with our adult dog as a puppy. Feeling pretty lost šŸ˜ž. I have attached some pictures.

Never fails, if you do a research in the search box on skin issues, guaranteed Royal Canin, Science Hill, Iams, anything Purina makes will be šŸ’Æ mentioned.

Vets gets a kickback on Royal Canin, Science Hill. Stop using them brands. It’s full of grains and fillers. Get the little guy on a higher quality kibbles like Acana, Origen, Zignature, Open Farm and even better a raw diet. If not possible, add 1/4cup of raw liver as a topper on the kibbles. Antibiotics will destroy any dogs gut flora. He won’t be able to rebuild if he’s on it. Your vet did the test and can’t find anything. It’s your food.

He’s absolutely beautiful! šŸ˜

Add some raw, get his gut back on track. And if your vet says it’s not the food, change vets.

@helsonwheels sorry one last question does it matter if it’s beef or chicken liver? Thank you again!
