one thing I did change was to a glass water bowl instead of stainless steel. and also sometimes use the Micro Tek spray on them if they get really bad. good luck.

for your post. It worries me because he's losing his hair where his pimples are. Poor guy. We do use the stainless steel bowles. I'll just wipe his chin after he eats.

The vet said it's acne of sorts.
You have to make sure you clean your stainless steel bowls out (with antibacterial soap) every day. Both water and food bowls. I had to give Rocc antibiotics and wipes (like clearasil) and it went away after a week or so.

The most disturbing thing was the vet squeezed Rocc's chin and pus came out...I had no idea it was infected. So Check it out asap!

I wonder if it is hormonal, like pimples, because I hadn't noticed until you mentioned it, Spanky hasn't had them for awhile. He just turned 3 in February.

My 13 year old bulldog started getting them at 7 years old...she crossed the rainbow bridge last year...but we did finally find out what it was and she didn't suffer with it anymore...

if they chew on a bone or rub their chine on the rug or their bedding.

she drinks water and her chin stays wet:-) You can probably get tehm to heal faster if you make sure to wipe his chin each time he takes a drink.

Its not uncommon and there's been a lot written on this subject. The good news is that he will outgrow it but I cannot give you an exact date.
