Answer
Have you used any carpet fresheners, spot on the back flea or tick stuff,sprayed the lawn, etc.? These have been known to cause issues. English Bulls are notorious for skin issues, so the first thing that I would do is put her on a raw food diet, or at least a grain free diet and remove all wheat, corn, soy, corn, dairy and beef from everything that goes into her mouth.

I would also avoid using anything that is toxic chemical base either in her or on her.

I have written books on this subject so there is way to much to tell you here, but you can go to my web site: www.critteroil.com and find many articles that I have written.

Also, I would either go to a good health food store that carries homeopathic remedies and talk to someone there about what formulas they carry for pet skin problems.

If all else fails, you might want to contact Dr Gerald Wessner for a phone consultation. He is an outstanding homeopathic vet and could send you the remedies that you need. His phone # is: 352-245-2025.

I would also recommend not giving her any more vaccinations. They cause allergies as well as many other serious health issues and for the most part are quite unnecessary for a 5 year old dog (they are for puppy diseases). Do some on line research, you'll find out.
