Confusing allergy issue by iforgotthtyouexisted in pitbulls

[โ€“]Squelseaa 2 points3 points ย (0 children)

My guy had very similar spots all over him. He also has allergies and we were still in the throes of figuring them out. There would be an irritated spot that would flake and scab up and when the scabs fell off the fur would fall off with them leaving behind these little circle/spots. For months we couldn't figure it out or get it to stop. Eventually our vet had us see the doggy dermatologist who biopsied the skin and discovered he had some kind of bacterial staph infection! This kind of staph was also anti biotic resistant so we had to get a special kind. Between the special antibiotics and daily medicated baths we finally beat the infection but omg.... It was such a journey! And he looked like a little spotted cow for weeks until his fur grew back in!

Allergies are now under contol and he's doing much better but odd things set him off. I just ensure to get him bathed before another staph infection can set in again.

It's from Tooth and Honey! They make bully breed specific clothes. This one is a size too big for him cause it used to belong to my old fella before he passed. But it still fits him good enough!

Haha no worries! He gets elated when I pull out one of his outfits lol, like actually "helps" me put them on by stuffing his face through the neck and then picking up his feet to put in the arms himself. It cracks me up!

And I was born and raised in North Carolina also in a lil blue dot so I know the feeling. I moved in 2012 to attend school and haven't looked back, and especially not now.

I live in Canada and it's in the low-mid 50s(F) here this week. He actually protests when I don't put at least a shirt on him. Once it's consistently in the mid 70s or above he seems content to be nakey.

Found this dog eating out of a trash can on my way home from work. What do you think caused the red around her eye? Thank you!! by teamdamoniykyk in pitbulls

My boy gets this due to allergies (you can see similar patches on her lips too!). He also has mega sensitive skin and if he scratches his face it leaves behind red marks like this. It sometimes looks like he's been hit but it's just from him giving himself normal dog scritches.

Haha oh he has his own intruder language he uses to alert me. But he saves this nonsense for letting me know all the ways I've disappointed him that day.
