Question

Bulldog Mike
I have and English Bulldog - 3 1/2 yrs old that has a large patch of discolored skin on his right side.  It started when he was less than a year old, the vet said not to worry about it.  But now it is a lot larger.  It is not round , the skin underneath is black and he is now loosing the hair on it.  Can you help tell us what the problem is?
Mikie is healthy and ahppy but it is worrying us.

Betty, thanks for the photo of your MIKE the English bulldog....SO cute - I can't resist a Bullie face!!!
Sure - I wonder if some Probiotic will help your boy ???   
Flora Force is a wonderful YEAST fighter.... He may have an overgrowth of yeast related to Allergies?
I would give him 2 Flora Force tablets per day for 10 days - hide in some Wet food ( Innova EVO or WEllness CORE canned)-
AFTER the 10 days - I would keep him on Flora Force LONG term...This is not a drug and very safe:

Also, he may have Environmental and  Food Allergies:
NuVET Wafers may help him a bunch ---- they do ship to Canada, too!

Call and order some NuVET Plus wafers : put him on 2 per day for 30 days and then drop him to 1 1/2 per day, long term.....

NuVET will help his skin and coat ( and hair growth), but also protects his JOINTS, and knees - hips - Bullies are prone to joint problems.
