My 15 month old bulldog has been having some skin/yeast issues lately. His ears have been yeasty and hes been itching around his face and belly. He was also getting green goopy eyes so I started him on allergy meds which helped the goopiness but he was still itching. So I thought maybe the yeast was bothering him so I started some antibiotics that I had from the last time he was at the vet. His itching has got a little bit better and one of his ears is clear while the other is still red.
I am also slowly switching his food from 4Health Duck and Potato to Fromm Beef Frittata because I thought the potato is probably not helping the itch, but he isn't completely switched over yet.
When I started giving him the antibiotic I stopped the allergy med because I wasn't sure about giving him both. A couple days after giving antibiotics, he now seems to be losing some hair around the inside corner of his eyesj and they are reddish (not on the actual eye itself). It's not where tear stains would be.
I'm trying so hard to find out how to make my little guy comfortable. We probably will ultimately end up allergy testing at the vet but I was trying to figure out his issues on my own....any ideas about the hair loss around the eyes? Could it be because I stopped the allergy med?
Sorry this is so long...
