English Bulldog's question about Skin Conditions (Bulldogs)

Question

My bulldog developed a bad skin condition on his face. When I noticed his face was very swollen (like hives). Next day his face became crusty and cracked (like scabs)/ It is very itchy for him, so he has some small open lesions and it is red, took him to the vet & had a skin scrape test. He was prescribed  Cephalexin and Prednisolone.

Accepted Answer

Hi there, you are through to Dr Linda. 
I5 sounds like he has a severe skin infection which is common in his breed due to the skin folds. Many individuals will also have allergies. It sounds as though he is on the right treatment and you should start to see improvement in a few days.
