Any ideas how to help an American Bulldog with severe allergies and very itchy skin? Our American Bulldog is allergic to almost every type of grass and pollen. We are having her treated by a dermatologist but now summer is on the way, her scratching has started again. She scratches so much she makes herself bleed. She drags her belly and chest along the grass or carpets and makes herself very sore. We have tried a number of things but nothing seems to work. Has anyone experience of this and any tried and tested remedies. Please try and help us.....
How do I get an American Bulldog to reduce his shedding? We have an male american bulldog that literally sheds constantly. He's a healthy dog but his owner (my roommate) buys him discount dog food. My roommate tells me that raw eggs or vegetable oil will help the shedding. I brushed him out the other day but he is still shedding all over the place. I'm sorry but I don't want to vacuum everyday! I know about the furminator brush, and I think I will get one. Is there a dog food, or any other food, that will help the shedding? Please help!
Would an american bulldog pup be a good choice to raise to guard chickens? We had a neighbor dog kill half my flock of chickens yesterday so we are looking into getting a dog to raise to protect them.

Any suggestions of what is wrong with my American Bulldog? Yesterday, my American Bulldog woke up with bumps all over his body (I have never seen anything like it). He has not been exposed to any different allergens nor have we changed his food. He is a little over a year old. Any suggestion of what this could be? He's disposition does not seem to be affected by the bumps. The bumps are not colored and are soft to touch. Some are as big as a quarter. We have an English Bulldog , too, and she has not been affected with this strange aliment.
What should I name my American bulldog puppy? So me and my family have dicided to rescue/adopt a american bulldog, but we can't think of a name. We can't even agree if it should be a girl or a boy.

Oh and I would perferably like Japanese names.

What should I do to get my American Bulldog back to proper weight? I bought an American Bulldog today, and his rib cage is showing. They say he is 10 weeks., but he looks very skinny. Anything you can suggest to fatten him up? Also, what is by far the best food to feed this dog? How often should I feed him now, and how often should I feed him once he gains his weight? I gave him 1 can of purina chicken in the can, but im sure this is no good. yes, the dog has a belly, but the ribs are showing, and i will take him to the vet asap i put down one of those things that they are suppose to i guess smell and pee on, and he did it the first time, i wasnt no where around, so im proud of that. He still has not taken a boo boo yet, and its 230 am right now. I took him out but non yet.

How do you put quality weight on a very thin American Bulldog? I just got a female AKC American Bulldog. She is so awesome but for her two years of life she has been either kenneled inside or on a six foot leash. Her previous owner said she was too "hyper." She is very thin and I want to fatten her up the healthy way. I felt so bad for her I had to take her even though I cant afford to take her to the vet for a couple of weeks. FYI this dog is not hyper, she is sweet and very obedient. They didnt realize the gem they had. Also, she will be spayed, but I think she is already pregnant. Her vulva is swelled and her nipples are very large and they claim she has never been bred. Any suggestions on that also?
Is My American Bulldog Going to Get Any Bigger? I have a ten month old American Bulldog named Flash. He is 95 pounds. When I got him the breeder said he would be between 85 and 95 pounds. Is he going to get any bigger? He is currently 24.5 inches at the withers. I don't think he's overweight. I can't see his ribs, but I can feel them when I pet him. He takes up so much space already. He takes up 2/3 of the couch and the entire backseat of my car!

Why do people fear my American Bulldog so much? I grew up with Sheppards, Dobermans, Newfoundlands and a Border Collie. I could walk them down the street with no problems. I walk my American Bulldog down the street and people will cross the road or even change coarse sometimes. He is the biggest suck in the world and loves human or dog attention. He dosen't growl or bark and approaches people with a total submissive behavior. http://img206.imageshack.us/my.php?image=f8bcre2va4.jpg [URL=http://imageshack.us][IMG]http://img235.imageshack.us/img235/3425/f8bcre2mx8.jpg[/IMG][/URL] http://img235.imageshack.us/my.php?image=f8bcre2mx8.jpg
Is it better to keep an American Bulldog as an outside dog or can he be kept as an inside pet also?

Any comments?? I think it's a little mean to always keep a dog strictly outside especially where I live in the mountains of Pennsylvania. Any ideas or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Moving Anxiety for 9 month old American Bulldog? My fiance and I have a 9 month old female American Bulldog named Frankie. We sometimes forget she is a dog, and treat her more like a baby :o). We are currently living at my moms house and are moving out this weekend to a 3rd floor, 2 bedroom apartment. Im so afraid that Frankie will have seperation anxiety due to the fact that she is so used to my moms house and her 3 golden retreivers, that she will get upset and not used to being alone more, and not being able to come inside and outside whenever she pleases. Has anyone had a similar situation?

How do I get my boyfriend's American Bulldog girl to give me a chance? My boyfriend has had his American Bull dog girl for about 9 months now.She's 1 and absolutely adorable.He's been pretty much showering her with attention since he got her and now that I've come into the picture 3 months ago she's not dealing with it at all.It's not that she's agressive it's just that whenever we're at his house she literally gets between us whether it be on the couch or the floor and it's driving me insane.I can't even kiss my own boyfriend without her getting in between us.I've tried everything to get her to like me but she just refuses to let me near him.What do I do?
