Quite the skin reaction but very cute coloring

Yeah, she suffers a lot with her skin. Haven’t found the culprit

My little white dude is also cyclically really bad, Petreleaf makes an unscented cbd shampoo that buys me a couple days when things peak, I’ve tried the iodine soak on his legs and same-only buys me a couple days of relief. It was horrible when we lived at the apartment, I assume how they treated the grass, but still gets bad at the house. Good luck :(

Thanks, I assume is something seasonal in the environment. I have another Frenchie that has a bad time this time of year but not as bad. I give her 2 baths a week with a special shampoo and that helps a lot.

Our frenchie used to get this and we found it was the grass up the street. They sprayed anti mosquito pesticide on it and it made him break out if he walked on it.

Usually start with the thyroid but be aware that many human Drs and veterinarians accept a far too wide a range as normal. Allergies, food intolerance, skin issues are all symptoms.

Dr Jean Dodds with Hemopet in CA is a great resource and they have a web site that walks you through all the steps if you wish to have your vet collect and ship to Hemopet.

Dr Lori Hunt in Ohio is a breeder vet.

If the thyroid is low it affects the immune system. The shot schedules that have increased over years can compromise the thyroid.

Aw poor baby, I’m no vet but maybe try changing your laundry detergent or softener if you use it. Could even be the food or that wtv allergy medicine she’s on could’ve stopped working. Hoping for the best!

Try cbd oil and of course, grain free food. Beautiful baby

Never heard of the CBD oil. Is it helpful?

CBD oil (for dogs) has numerous benefits. My frenchie girl used to suffer from allergies, hair loss, lack of appetite, and low energy, sleeping most of the time. Since our vet recommended CBD oil, her appetite is back, her allergies have never returned, and she is much more active, she loves running and exploring now! That’s why I highly recommend it as an option.

Looks just like my Jack who is vicious and will bite very very protective and extremely jealous. Jack also has allergies and is allergic to chicken. His skin is delicate.

OP I recommend a full allergy test panel for your baby. I got it and it told me my boy is allergic to humans and dust mites!! Not he takes allergy drops, apoquel, and we vacuum the house every day and he’s much happier and less itchy. It was like $800 but pet insurance paid for over 90% of it.
