      Hi,

      We need help!

      Our English bulldog went to the ER vet because he was balding in different spots. He has also had a history of chronic ear infections. This isn’t the first time the baking spots have happened but this has been the worst. In the past the vet would give him antibiotics and send him home.

      This time we got an environmental allergy test done and it was negative. Skin scrape also negative. So vet said it might be food allergies so she prescribed Hills Z/D and prednisone. Haven’t sent must improvement yet.

      In the mean time what can I do for these spots?? I’ve seen post about using coconut oil and selson blue shampoo. Any other suggestions?

      I’m also thinking that since the hills food has chicken in it (which I think is the culprit) so I’m thinking of switching to Natural Balance Bison or Venison.

      Try Oatmeal Natural Dog Shampoo or Sensitive Skin Pet Shampoo. Both shampoos are the best. Oatmeal shampoo helps your sensitive dog and prevent itching. Sensitive Skin Shampoo prevents dryness while revitalizing and moisturizing the skin of your pup. You can find more information about these shampoos from here:

      Hope it helps you! 🙂

      Hello,
      My pup Thor has the same exact problem. I have tacked to the vet multiple times and tried medications, steroids, and medicated shampoos. I started adding salmon oil and thought it was helping. In the past it would make the issue go away. This time it is not helping. I think it seems seasonal also. He eats buffalo and Brown Rice from Solid Gold. He is 4.5 Great Dane mix. If I took pictures of the issue they would match yours perfectly. Have you found anything to be helpful?
