Archived Bulldog Medical Health

So we are thinking of changing our bulldogs food and was wondering about grain free formula
they are currently both eating Royal Canine and doing well but was considering changing to help with keeping them healthy

thank you

Moving to Texas. Told I should put dogs on heart worm and flea prevention ahead of time. Never have had to worry about either. Which do you use for yours (those that use it.) also a vet recommendation--moving about 1 hr SE of Austin near Red Rock and Bastrop. Anyone familiar with the area and can recommend a vet. I am leaving one of the best.

Hi everyone. I have a 9 month olde english bulldogge who has itchy skin. He only has problems on the side of his neck and on his neck under his chin. I wash him with a natural shampoo made of oatmeal and we feed him a raw diet of salmon. He has had this problem for the last couple of months. we took him to the vet and he doesnt have any parasites that would cause the itching. I am guessing that this might be an allergy? It hasnt gotten worse but he scratches every once in awhile and thats whats giving him the small bald spots that he has on his neck.

Just got this information from my bulldog vet. They seem to work as well as the Malaseb and the vet says this is the new up and coming treatment active ingredient for skin issues as recommended by her mentor at Iowa State Vet School in Ames. The name of the ingredient is phytosphingosine/salicyloyl. It is combined with chlorhexidine (3%) in a wiping pad similar to the plegettes that Malaseb had. The brand name is DOUXO from Sogevalus laboratories out of Cappell, TX originating in France.

What can I put on her skin fold were her tears run down from her eyes? She has one side that is raw.Can I use Malaseb wipes in that area? Are they safe for that area?

Hey all! I hope someone can help me out! My baby girl Rosie has had kidney issues most of her life. For the past couple of years she has been on K/D (Science Diet) which i know a lot of people do not like but it has helped with keeping her kidney's elevated. But on the other hand she does itch a lot and lick her paws a lot! I know it is probably because of the food but I am just not sure what I can try switchign her to with her kidney issues??? any help would be great!

ok so last night I noticed that Jake would not jump on the couch (which he normally does) he would just look at you. He is not limping or anything like that. He would not jump on the bed either. He is a VERY active dog and yesterday he was just out of it. Today Travis said that he growled and barked at him when he tried to help him on the couch. I am thinking that his hind leg(s) are hurting him but he is showing no sign other than the not jumping and the growling/barking. I am thinking that he has a pulled muscle...does this seem about right?

where to begin, Bella always has skin problems ans have tried all sorts of food she is currently on royal canin bulldog. The other problem is she is always dirty looking her face is white and looking at all the other bulldogs their faces look a lot cleaner. What to do. oh and her ears are always infected with the dark red yucky stuff which I have ear stuff for her. Any way she is licking all of the time and now her paws are reddish in color. any suggestions?
