Bumps on American Bulldog; pet nurse marie bulldogs;

Question
I have an 11 month old American Bulldog...His name is Max.  He just recently has broken out with bumps all over his side and legs.  He doesn't really seem to be bothered with them...He has been scratching a bit, but not to the point where they are red or raw.  The bumps themselves range in size from dime size to a bit bigger than quarter size.  I'm thinking it's an allergic reaction to something, but we're taking him to the vet tomorrow just in case.  I guess I'm just wondering what else it could be.  These have just appeared within the last 2-3 days.  Thanks for any information you have!

Answer
Hi SEBERINA - Yes, take the boy to the vet for a good check up...
I am sure it is allergy related/  mostly will be environmental...
( unless you gave him a new food in the past few days )
Many American bulldogs have allergy troubles related to food or the environment.

Take a look at my web page for NuVET doggie Vitamins..... This is one of the BEST bulldog supplements in the USA.

Don't let the vet put him on Steroids...
Ask about some Benadryl 50 mg (1) each day for a short period of time.
Steroids / prednisone is very harsh...
