Question
My 7 month old female American Bulldog has bumps on the top of her head for the second time. The vet put her on antibiotics and a medicated shampoo. It helped but its' back again. She also red spots on her belly and underside of legs. Should I put her on anitibiotics again. She is biting at herself. We have not changed her food.
Please help.

Answer
Katie -  Yes, let's make some nutritional changes for your girl.
It can't hurt to try the following low cost and safe options:

1.. Buy some Acidophilus ( 1 billion CFUs) - give her 1 tablet per day in some cheese ( hide it)-*** For skin and Coat

2.  Put a small amount of garlic powder on her food - YOU can buy some like this- Make sure you get Pure Garlic Powder

Do about 1/2 a teaspoon ,2 x per day ( shaker bottle...)*** Garlic is a Natural Antibiotic.

3. Vitamin E 150 IU per day - wonderful for immune system and inflammation/healing -  Just 1 per day of Vit E

4.  NuVET Plus - the BEST Skin/ Coat/ and Immune System Booster in the USA..Excellent help - Reduce allergies, hot spots.... NuVET wafer treats will cost .55 cents per day... I would start her on 2 per day for the first 10 days...After that, she can go down to just 1 per day.
