Question
recently our American bulldogs eyes and the area around their mouth was bright pink in color.  What causes this?

Answer
Hi Robin:  The american bull dog has pink and black around the mouth muzzle area... Also, the eye rims can be pink in color - this is a flaw in breeding...
If the pink areas became very red it is related to allergies.  YOUR bulldog may be allergic to something she is eating or her environment.  

Bulldogs ( american) are Prone to Allergy Problems..  big time!!!

Here are some things to follow:

First, see a VET if the dog is scratching the eyes ... If not, try the following:

A quality Food such as - Innova EVO ( grain free diet) - No junk corn fillers and corn meals...
Good food that is Holistic and Meat based with be a Big PLUS..

( Make any food changes slowly over a two week period of time)

Try some Vitamin E for your bull kid.  Here is the daily amounts:
Vitamin E
Give 9 IU per pound body weight daily.  
(400 IU, 800 IU, 1000 IU daily)

Viamin E acts as an anti-inflammatory ... reduces redness or swelling.
