I have a 14 month old female. We are from Missouri. A few months back, we moved to Florida, where we have found many fire ant hills in our backyard. We have taken care of the ant hills constantly. But, my bulldog has constant bumps ALL OVER her. At first we thought it was just bug bites & we've put spray & cream on the bumps which have seemed to help with the itching. Lately, my bulldog's skin has become really flaky & the bumps have increased in numbers. I have been giving her hair & skin supplements to try to help with shedding & dry skin. She's been on them for about a week, and I haven't noticed a change so far. The bumps seem to be incredibly flaky & itchy. On her stomach, legs and arms where there is no hair, you can see circle shaped scabs. She's had ringworm before & that doesn't seem to be the case. I am trying to avoid going to the vet & spending a lot of money on a check up right now. I have searched online & found answers such as frequent bathing, heat, or a bunch of different skin conditions. I bathe my dog about once every week, which could be the cause of the dry skin, but not the bumps & scabs. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!
