She's only 17 weeks, and she's already a teen - how my little girl has grown up.

Yeah it does seem like a zit to me, but wasn't sure.

She eats out of those bowls so that's good and I'll try the other tips you gave. I appreciate them.

Did you see her pics on my site, she's a handful to say the least and loving every minute of it.

If anybody else has thoughts, glad to hear them. I think half the time I Love this site just to feel a little less worried about things by hearing other's opinions and/or similar stories.

Hi Joe, its just what we call "teenage bulldog acne" but its a mild form of pyoderma that often occurs with bulldogs 6mos to 2yrs. Here's some ways to deal with it:

1-try to keep her chin dry. We know you cannot follow her around all the day/night but when you do see her at the water bowl, try to get a paper towel to her chin afterward.

2-avoid using any plastic bowls for food or water; stainless steel are the best but some dogs are afraid of them if they haven't started out with this type, so you can use a good ceramic. Wash bowls daily in hot soapy water; dishwasher is great for good cleaning.

3-DON'T try to burst these pimples or blood-blisters, remembering that an open skin wound is more suseptible to infection than a closed one! DO try to dry them up by using human teenage acne pads such as Stridex or Oxydex brand wipes. Use one daily and discard. Alcohol is a little harsh if used directly, plus the scent may drive your dog away...these medicated wipes contain some astringent but they will work for you...it may take a couple weeks to clear out entirely...don't give up.
