Has anyone ever heard about novelty proteins to help food allergies?

I was reading a few articles about novelty proteins and how they can help calm food allergies. The theory is to introduce your dog to a protein it hasn't had before, such as kangaroo or beaver, and then switching to another novelty protein every 3 or 4 months. This supposedly helps dogs not have a reaction to the new protein, thus keeping the ear infections, skin issues, and other allergic reactions down.

I have come to the conclusion Fatboy will always have a reaction to chicken, turkey, beef, duck, and rabbit. I'm considering trying these novelty proteins, but I am a bit skeptical.

I'm so sad, my Burger had PLE

Pray for my Burger boy. After 7yrs of being pretty darn healthy and strong the vet diagnosed him with Protein losing Enteropothy. He's lost about 20lbs in 2mos. It breaks my heart to watch him suffer. Has anyone else dealt with this in their Bully? 

Little Miss Nugget is bully of the month...woohoo!!!

I don't know how she was treated physically before she came to us, but I do know she was neglected.  Those days are long gone...I love this girl so much.

Changing pigmentation as Bosco gets older

Morning everyone - hope you all had a wonderful Halloween! Question for all you bulldog lovers - Bosco's pigmentation seems to be changing. What once were small black freckles on his face and along his jawline are bigger and the coloring in his mouth is correspondingly changing, as well. I flagged one freckle for his vet the last time he was in for a wellness exam because one freckle in his mouth was looking different and the vet said it was no big deal. But given the broader pigmentation change, just wanted to get opionions from you all before I bring him back to his dermatologist.

Assistance Would Be Awesome!

Hello All,

Our Bulldog Jake is coming up on his 18 month birthday.  He was fixed about five months ago and the vet did an awesome job.  Jake tolerated everything well and he came home that evening.  All was good.  Unfortunately about four months ago, Jake developed Cherry Eye in his left eye.  We brought him to the vet and he told us that it would be about a twenty to twenty five minute procedure to fix this common issue. Well, this wasn't the case.

Would LOVE your thoughts on dental cleanings, please! :-)

I hope it's okay with the Admins if I post this HERE instead of the medical/ health board----but that board

tends to get visited / responded to less often.  Meaty is going to have a large sebaceous cyst removed from

his back, plus a much smaller one from his leg.  After lotsa research and angsting over the right thing to

do, he'll be having it removed next Monday-----we wanted the vet just to DRAIN it, but it's gotten so big

and tight, there's a risk of rupture, which of course, could cause lotsa problems!....
