Question
i have a 3 year old + female english bulldog (who isn't spayed)
who has a continual gray rash about the size of a hamburger pattie that never goes away.  the vet says it is "probably" a thyroid problem but didn't suggest anything for it.  it's very ugly.  she has chronic red eye in one eye and i use the ointment (i didn't bring it with me) constantly and it doesn't go away.  she seems to have a chronic ear problem in that same side. he gave her a liquid ear med to put down her ear and rub.  she eats science diet food, their newest brand for good joints etc.  

i'm worried about her.  i use my triminacylone ointment on the gray rash.  nothing i've tried works, i think she needs a med.

thank you.

Answer
Hi Cayrn,  One of the problems is that SCIENCE diet food..  VERY poor ingredients.
I know they tell you it's the Best but NO it's not.
Here is what I would do for your baby:

I would love to have you change your food brand to something with less Junk Fillers.
Yes, with a food change and a NuVET supplement, you should see results in less than 3 -4 weeks.
Please get the following dog food ( Pick one)-

Innova EVO  ( grain free dog food)
Wellness CORE - ( again, grain free)
or
Merrick BEFORE Grain
Also, ( I do love Natural Balance DUCK and Potato)

Mix the Science Diet and the new food at a 50:50 mix for 2 weeks.  
AFTER that, go to the new food.
The new food is grain-free so you feed MUCH less than you did of the Science Diet dog food.
VERY condensed so the poops are smaller.
