Hey guys,
im confused with all these threads , my bully is around 6 months old and i have been feeding him Earthborn hollistic grain free food ever since. He was on meadow feast for a two months and i started seeing spots of hair missing around his body and i thought it was the food so i tried to switch him on the Coastal Catch formula. i found his hair got better with less hair patches gone and a nicer shinny coat. But my boy has yeasty eyes and bumps along his mouth and at the bottom of his eye folds... i always wipe his eyes and dry them over 4 times a day.. sometimes i give him liquid benadryl to help and it does seem to work somewhat. i have read people give their dogs 1 pill of benedryl a day or one pill per 25 lbs. Some even say zyrtec 1 a day is best.. it hurts me to see my boy with these red bumpy sores around his face.. it even bleeds sometimes. i tried the desitin thing but like with my other dog, he has always hated it and run around like crazy rubbing it everywhere so he can get it off his face. maybe upping the benedryl or zyrtec may help? but also i was thinking of switching his food but that im not so sure what brands.. i thought earth born was one of the top brands but it could be causing him these skin problems.. we dont have Fromm dog food in hawaii, but there are Akana, blue buffalo, aveda, taste of the wild, a couple others. i dont know if this should be in bully health or bully nutrition forums since it was a hybrid problem.
please help if you have ideas
Thanks,
Steven
