Question
Lady Bug
My puppy Bella is a 6 month old english bulldog. I got her when she was 6 wks old and I took her to the vet the day after I got her just so I could get my vet familiar and just give her an overall exam. He found that she had a small skin infection on her lower belly so we put her on an antibiotic. It cleared up and she was fine. Then last month I noticed a few small red bumps on her belly again and notice her itching more often so I called to see about getting the antibiotic again but they insisted that I bring her in for another exam. I couldn't afford a vet visit at the time so my husband just took her this past Friday Nov. 12th. The vet put her on clavamox for the skin and found that she also had an ear infection so gave medicine for that as well. The ear infection has cleared up completely but she is still itching her belly ever chance she gets. I don't know if this is an allergy or what. I contact the vet to let him know that the clavamox hasn't seemed to help her skin and he suggested that I bring her in AGAIN for a skin scraping this time to see if she might have mange. My problem with that is I have another dog in the house who is completely find with no skin problems so I figured if she did have mange wouldn't my other dog have it as well? I have spend a lot of money on her since day one of getting her and I'm trying to see if anyone out there knows what this could be before I make another expensive vet visit that may or may not help her. She is itching her belly area and arm pit area. I think it's some sort of allergy but have no idea what exactly. I know that she is for sure allergic to ants because we already had to make a vet visit over that issue when she got bit by a few ants when I took her outside to potty. If you have any suggestions to what might be going on with her I would greatly appreciate them.

LAST - PLEASE put this baby onto some PEARLS --- it's a probiotic you can get a Walmart or GNC stores - get the lowest dosage for her. Give her 1 per day for 90 days - helps to reduced yeast and ear infections. I bet she has an overgrowth of yeast thru her entire body.
It is just called: PEARLS
Keep me posted ..... I want reports every 60 days if you can...
Thanks
