I was in Vegas last week and get home to my wife and 2 English Bulldogs to find out that the older of the two bulldogs has some kind of skin problem. He just has huge bumps all over his body. The bumps range in size from quarter sized to 2 inches in diameter. They probably come out of his skin like a quarter of an inch.

I have an appointment to take him in to the Vet tomorrow, but it's really kinda freaking me out. Also, the bumps get worse or better depending on the day. Like yesterday, he had maybe 2 bumps all over. Today he has like 15.

Does anyone know what this is or how serious it is? I'm worried about my little buddy.

That's step 1. Talk to a professional.

Step 2: Stop spooging on your dog.

my bulldog gets this, rather rarely though. but what you are describing, the bumps are much bigger. the bumps my dog gets would be more the size of a dime or penny and would be raised about 1/8th inch
in my situation i give him benadryl and hes fine. seems like an allergic reaction/hives. perhaps a spider bite, nerves,stress (maybe he missed you while you were gone?) who knows.
definitely see a vet though

No, I live in Norman, Oklahoma.

It could definitely be allergies, I'm very glad to hear that it was no big deal for your dog.

Thanks for the response.

I'm guessing ringworm.
