Skin problelms

I have a lovely red and white 11 year old female Bull Terrier. When she was 6 months old she began losing hair on her forehead. We treated her for mites and the hair came back. As she has gotten older she had had sores, boils and hair loss intermittently and it clears up with antibiotics, frequent dipping with Mitoban and oral mite medicine. We feel very bad that she suffers with this problem, but you know that Bull Terriers never act really ill until they are near death. Right now she is once again clearing up. Has anyone else had similar problems? My first Bullie lived to be 14 years old and never had a sick day or problem of any kind until he had a stroke and died. Thanks for your input. Connie

Im sorry to hear about the sad problem, I know its not alot of fun but im sure she will continue to live a happy healthy life. My neighbors down the street have a bull terrier, his name is Brick. He has bad skin allergies but he is doing alot better as the years go on. Im getting a bull terrier in July! im really excited.
