Hi Everyone I am here looking for ANY recommendations.
This is Nelly she is 4.5 years old. She started with bald spots last year. I have taken her to the vet for this issue but didn't get very far. She had blood work done that came back with no issues. The vet told me it is most likely seasonal Alopecia but it hasn't gotten better even with the seasons changing multiple times. When I asked about food allergy's they didn't really give me any advice on what to feed her. She was on Royal Canine for Bulldogs but it made her stool so hard that she would bleed. She was also on Pro Plan sensitive stomach (she has no issues with this. I just switch because i thought maybe there was something better for her coat that would help the baldness) She is now on Diamonds Naturals Skin & Coat with no change. She doesn't Itch and it doesn't seem to bother her at all. It just looks worse than it is... The vet recommended allergy shots to "see" if it would help but they said it most likely wasn't an allergy since its not bothering her and to try melatonin because that would help with the regrowth. I didn't jump on the allergy shots since they don't even know if its an allergy and my girl is sleepy the way it is, I didn't want to make her more sleepy.. The shedding is literally driving me insane. I had a Saint Bernard that didn't shed this much!
So I guess my questions are... Has anyone had a EBD with this type of hairloss... what was it? What did you do to help it? what do you feed your EBD that helps their coat not shed so bad? and should I find a new vet lol
Any help would greatly be apprecaited!
