What is my Bull Terrier Allergic to?

Big Dog — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 08:14:32 +0000

Skin allergies are quite common among Bull Terriers. Some people don’t take it seriously, saying it’s just a bit itchy and that’s all, but it can be a real suffer for the puppy. But how to notice? The skin gets irritated, reddish and the dog is scratching a lot more than before. You should always pay additional attention to the area between the toes, because that is where the allergic reaction can be seen first. The vet will probably prescribe some steroids or antibiotics, but the best thing to do is prevention. For this, you have to know the source of the problem. The food allergies are harder to guess than the ones caused by plants in the surrounding area. The most common reasons for their allergy are originated from food: it can be red meat, poultry, or anything else, like rice or potatoes. The best thing to do is to start a diet, so you’ll see what your bullie is allergic to. But take into consideration that it takes at least 2 months to see if the diet is working or not.
Apart from this, it is obviously necessary to take your pup to the vet as soon as you see the first signs.

Avoid unnecessary vet bills! Do your dog’s basic health check!

Some Health Issues to Look Out For….

The Bull Terrier was originally bred to be pure white in color. Even today, most fans of this breed will tell you that the white ones are the best looking ones.(or thos that are most favored). However, where pigments have been “debred” out of an individual, so to speak – or where there is a lack of pigmentation, like with albinism, for instance- one can find many more congenital defects. Therefore it is not surprising that this dog – when white! – suffers from many more diseases compared to its counterparts who have some form and level of pigmentation. Hereditary deafness, heart disease, kidney failure and skin allergies may occur and are more likely to develop in the white Bull Terriers. Bull Terriers that are of a certain color other than pure white are less likely to be prone to these genetic problems. Other health issues to look out for, take not of and monitor include hereditary zinc deficiency, renal problems, and spinning disorder.

Why take your dog to the vet if you can give it a check-up yourself?
