My one gets hufe hotspots where nothing helps besides antibiotics. I would take him to a dermatologist and get their opinion. I spray mine with something daily to prevent hotspots from forming but only avalable through the dermatologist.

ETA the Pyohex did nothing to help my fog

Ok thanks, I notice that on both the puppy and my male that there seems to be little patches where it looks like the start of hair missing - so not sure what's going on there, I think a dermatoligist is the way to go, do you have to get referred by the vet?

I think we need some pics in this thread I'd love to see some puppy and adult pics I'd love to have two BM's...a red or brindle boy and a brindle girl

I'll have to revisit this idea...lol...could end up being one BM and one Berner - showing could prove a handful tho...

I love my babies I'll upload a photo for you

That they are

would be lap dogs if they could be ANYTHING TO GET CLOSE TO YOU

I know my big male is such a SOOK, he gets so close to me I feel like he would get inside my skin if he could - certainly no idea of personal space, but I just love him to bits

Do Bullmastiff's drool very much?

My 2 Bullmastiffs don't drool

there very clean dogs

My male drools if he's hungry or just exercises, we have lots of rags around to wipe it off lol

Hi everyone

I've just joined this forum but have gotten plenty of helpful hints from everyone so thank you.

I have two questions

1. We have a female puppy bullmastiff she's about 17 weeks old and weighs 20kgs - just wondering what people's thoughts are on dry food. Someone told me they are toxic for dogs? We have puppy eukanuba large breed that we give her along with chicken frames and necks, everything the breeder said. They also said to give her brisket bones, chicken mince, puppy milk once a week plus cheese. I want to make sure I can give her the best she can as she's growing - have I missed anything?

2. We also adopted a 3 year old bullmastiff male who is just gorgeous, however he seems prone to hotspots. When we first got him he got one and the vet said it was probably the stress of the move as we live on an acre with no trees so he hasn't brushed up against one. Then we went to Fraser Is for a week and had a house sitter, another HUGE hotspot, maybe the stress of us leaving him?? The vet gave us some ilium neocort which worked wonders but we've run out and he won't give us more without another consultation. I've read lots of home remedies on betadine baths, curash baby powder, plus some other stuff. I did read somewhere that someone said to give him a zinc tablet is that right? I have just purchased the pyohex shampoo and conditioner also so hopefully that will help - any other suggestions would be awesome : )

I look forward to your responses
