My bulldog cost me over $12000 in her first 4 years for vet bills, $500 is chump change to me LOL It's not a perfect test, but i found it a good guide especially when choosing the best food. I used to have my bulldog on benadryl or chlortriplon, but it never really helped. Also tried Evening primrose oil supplements, accupuncture and prednizone. Last year, i said [censored] and didn't put her on anything. her allergies seemed better, will see how she is this summer... LOL, saying F*** it helped huh? Very GOOD. I'd like to hear how things DO work out this summer. | ||||

Just a note, most of the blood based allergy tests were developed for humans, therefore there is a high account of false positives. It is a good idea for a general idea of allergenic triggers, but not to be taken definitively. Thank you Igmuska. | ||||

Thank you babigirl, I did mention that to the vet because it was an outbreak out of nowhere and it was after training him in an area that I've never trained him in. My thoughts also that it may have come from the change of the grassy area. Heres hoping that we've caught it, he's cleared up but he IS pink underneath in certain areas, but has finished his antibiotics and he does return to the vet on Saturday. Fingers CROSSED.
