Hey, just wanted to say hello! I got my first bulldog puppy about a year and half ago. I like to think of myself as an expert now because anything that could go wrong has gone wrong! :D J/K I'm still learning. Haha! But seriously, we started with hives at about 4 months old, which turned into a scabby skin condition. A year later and I've finally found a food he's not allergic too! YAY! Clear skin! Ever since he was 6 months old his tail pocket has been infected.. he's sprained his ankle and has had 2 eye ulcers. He's at the vet at least once a month. I think he's doing it on purpose. He likes the attention. :w00t:

Anyway.. Four days ago I made a 5 hour drive to see a specialist and had his tail amputated. He's doing really good! Has anyone had this done to their bully? I'm wondering how long it takes to heel/hair grow back, etc.

And even after all that, what do I do? I get him a baby brother. LOL! Now I have a 6 month old boy too, and the skin issues are already starting up.. Time to start making the rounds with different foods again..

Nyala, Jake (R.I.P. Duke)
WELCOME!!!! Beautiful puppies. Nyala my brindle has a tail pocket issues but been keeping at bay with an essential oil mix. Been great for pass year. I clean her tail every 2days. For skin issues I switched to raw n Acana. Knock on wood never had issues to date. Like you, I got Nyala a little brother 6 months ago. They are glued to the hip. A lot of work as Duke is a crap disturber but worth the gray hair. You will enjoy having 2.
