Exotic Bully dogs are often prone to skin problems, which can present as pustules, hives, irritations, open sores, and pimples. These skin reactions are frequently caused by insect bites or, more commonly, allergic reactions. Contact allergies, in particular, can develop very rapidly: within minutes, the dog may be covered in hives. Open sores and severe irritations can also occur in these cases. Food allergies are also quite common and typically manifest through noticeable skin symptoms.

 

Cortisone and Steroids?

Many dog owners turn to steroids or cortisone to treat these allergic reactions. While these medications can offer short-term relief, they come with significant drawbacks. Cortisone weakens the dog’s immune system, making it more susceptible to infections. Long-term use can also cause serious side effects such as weight gain, muscle loss, diabetes, and even behavioural changes. These treatments only address the symptoms and not the underlying cause of the allergy, leading to a recurrence of skin problems once the medication is stopped.

Hay Fever Tablets for Dogs?

Many dog owners also use antihistamines. However, these medications often have limited effectiveness in dogs. This is due to the physiological differences between humans and dogs. While antihistamines effectively relieve allergic symptoms in humans, dogs respond differently to these substances, which limits their effectiveness.

 

Allergies in Exotic Bullies and Other Prone Dog Breeds

Exotic Bullies are known to be susceptible to allergies, but many other dog breeds also frequently experience similar issues. Here are some of the breeds that are particularly affected:

1. Golden Retrievers: Commonly suffer from skin allergies and sensitivities to food ingredients.

2. Labrador Retrievers: Often have allergies related to environmental factors or food.

3. German Shepherds: Prone to food allergies and atopic dermatitis.

4. Bulldogs (English and French): Frequently experience skin allergies, especially due to their skin folds.

5. Poodles (Standard, Miniature, and Toy): Known to have sensitivities to certain foods and environmental allergens.

6. Boxers: Susceptible to food allergies and skin conditions.

7. Cocker Spaniels: Often face allergies affecting the skin and ears.

8. Beagles: May have allergies related to food or environmental factors.

9. Staffordshire Bull Terriers: Prone to skin allergies and can also develop sensitivities to certain foods.

10. Shih Tzus: Known for skin allergies and sensitivities to environmental allergens.

11. Yorkshire Terriers: Often suffer from food allergies and have sensitive skin.

12. Dachshunds: Can have various allergies, including food and environmental allergies.

Additional Information:

- Environmental Allergies: Many of these breeds are prone to environmental allergies (pollen, dust mites, mold, etc.), which can lead to skin irritations and respiratory issues.

- Food Allergies: Common food allergens include beef, chicken, dairy, wheat, and soy, which can affect a dog's digestion and skin health.

- Atopy: This hereditary condition results in an allergic reaction to environmental allergens, leading to skin irritations.

 

Silver Solution as a Superior Alternative

A much gentler and equally effective alternative is the use of a silver solution containing pure silver particles of a specific size. This solution provides immediate relief for skin problems and is suitable for both immediate and long-term treatment of skin irritations. Silver has antibacterial properties, kills skin fungi, and is anti-inflammatory, without the side effects associated with steroids or cortisone. With regular use, skin problems are usually resolved within a few days. Open sores often show immediate improvement, making silver a valuable resource in any household with dogs. In the past, we purchased these solutions commercially but found that their effectiveness varied. This variability is due to different production methods. The high-voltage method has proven to be the most effective, which is why we only produce silver solutions using this method to ensure strong results.For severe allergies, "Dog Skin Care" serves only as a first aid measure and does not provide a cure. However, it delivers excellent results for allergy-related skin issues when combined with "Alergogone". Lasting solutions for allergies in dogs are offered by "Alergogone," and in very severe cases, an autologous blood preparation might be necessary.

 Long-Term Solutions for Allergies in Dogs

To combat allergies in the long term, we offer a specially formulated preparation known as AllergenX, which incorporates a unique mineral solution. This method was discovered while treating various pets and has now been adapted specifically for dogs. AllergenX helps restore the dog’s natural balance, often resulting in the complete disappearance of mild allergies after a three-week course.

For immediate relief from hives, we recommend taking APIS D3 (a homeopathic remedy) every 20 to 30 minutes, and using **APIS D30** if available (just a few doses).

In more severe cases, exploring options like autologous blood treatment can be beneficial. While creating such personalized treatments can be time-consuming, the effort is often worth it, as many dogs experience complete resolution of their allergies.

For breeders and dog owners, this means effective, natural treatment options are available that can provide quick relief and help address allergies in the long term—without the risks and side effects associated with steroids or cortisone. Investing in such preparations pays off and can significantly enhance your dog's well-being.
