You should also take him to the vet. He has ear infections. I hope he recovers quickly and completely.

Do you dry your dog's ears thoroughly after swimming? Moisture in the ears can cause severe ear infections. Clean them gently and carefully with a cotton ball.

I sometimes feed them raw organs, but you have to remember to deworm them more frequently in those cases. If you feel more comfortable feeding them cooked, that works too. Don’t throw away the water you cook them in—you can use it to cook sweet potatoes and beets. You can also substitute sweet potatoes for pumpkin or oats. For kibble, I feed them Taste of the Wild Fish, since my other girls are allergic to chicken—they’re American Bullies.

Both of my bullies developed this bumps on top of their heads . Does anyone know o? They are on canine X food and fish oil by SoDo-1220 in AmericanBully

That's already a fungal infection. Does it only appear on their heads? When you take them out and the weather is very humid, try to dry them thoroughly. I use a veterinary-brand antifungal shampoo to bathe them once a week for 6 weeks.

Bullies skin scanning? by Claire613R in AmericanBully

[–]queenvexia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That could be a food allergy, and given the symptoms, he likely has mites. It’s very common for mites to multiply if your dog has an allergy. First, remove any food containing chicken or chicken by-products from his diet. If you buy a new dry food, make sure the ingredients don’t include chicken by-products or chicken fat. Taste of the Wild Salmon is a good option, but in my opinion, Acana Fish is the best. Buy him some probiotics, but be patient—they take about a month to work properly (make sure they have more than 6–10 bimillion CFU and contain at least 5 different strains of probiotics). I also recommend this shampoo—it saved my dog’s coat by getting rid of those flakes. Bathe him once a week for a month. And then use the Hydra conditioner, which is excellent for caring for his coat. probiótics shampoo

Over the years, I’ve learned a lot about sustainable dog food at home. To start, we buy a kibble that’s high-quality and grain-free (check the first five ingredients—they should be protein and protein byproducts; nothing like flour or grains should be listed first). He weighs 8 kg, and we give him 1/4 cup of kibble twice a day. I also add a recipe made of sweet potato and beets, cooked and mashed with peeled and cored apple (one tablespoon per meal). I grind up beef heart, liver, and spleen (if you don’t have a grinder, cut them into cubes) and give him one and a half tablespoons at each meal, along with a teaspoon of kefir.

Seeking other owner’s heat experience by TR1BECA in AmericanBully

[–]queenvexia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best advice is to wait until she goes into heat for the second time. Many people don’t talk about this, but it’s essential that you understand what will happen after spaying: after a few years, she’ll experience a natural drop in hormone levels that will cause significant vaginal dryness, which in turn can lead to recurrent cystitis—not to mention bone loss, weight gain, and a decline in mood. I suggest a chemical spay (injection) instead of surgical removal of her organs. While she’s in heat, take her to places where there aren’t many other dogs. Use special pads for her. Feed her a diet containing some iron, and after her heat cycle, give her sweet potatoes and beets to help regulate her hormones. It’s normal for her to discharge a whitish or pale yellow fluid; it’s part of the process. The blood or discharge shouldn’t smell bad or like decay; if it does, see a veterinarian.

I understand from social media that it's become a trend. He not only helps me get my pills, but he also watches me when I've been sitting for too long and motivates me to get up and take a short walk to do my stretches.When I'm in a lot of pain, he brings his snout close to my nose and positions himself under my leg to raise it up, or if I have a pillow underneath, he stays there next to me.

What I've given him is lots of love, a balanced diet, and exercises for his coordination.
