My American bulldog has these red dots all over his skin like chicken pocks.. He's all white so there pretty easy to see all over his legs & stomach, chest. Just wondering if any other American bulldog owners has experienced this before with their bulldog (?) I am currently giving him kids benadryl just encase it's just allergies as my female pit bull had something like that before but just not red spots and it went away with benadryl.

I'd say it's some kind of allergy (possible itching too or has watery eyes). Allergies can be proteins, wheat, corn, and seasonal (like in humans). Has he come in contact with anything that could irritate the skin? Some dogs can have reactions to things like laundry detergents. At any rate, i'm sure you know benedryl isn't a long-term solution. Have you changed his food recently? Has he eaten anything unusual (people food)?
Sounds like an allergy, either to something he ate, or something he came in contact with, shampoo, carpet cleaner? If you had party food around this week, or guests - or both - it's possible he has eaten something he is allergic to. Wait and see if it subsides in a day or two, or see the vet. If you've hgad the carpets cleaned or sprayed, rinse him down with lukewarm water - that should remove some of whatever it is, and let his skin settle down. Keep an eye on him for facial swelling, and rush him to the emergency vet if his face swells, but if it's only spots, my guess is it's probably something like a wheat allergy, and it should get better when he stops eating the crackers and bagels.
Do tke this dog to a vet. That is the only way to be SURE of what it is, and maybe trace what might be causing it. You not only want to know what it is.....but also how you can avoid it in the future.
Looks like someone has a food allergy! There are many foods ingredients that dogs are allergic to, such as wheat, corn, chicken, beef. The list goes on and on! What you need to do is scale back the number of proteins that your dog is eating. Switch him to a diet that contains only one protein source, such as buffalo, duck, salmon, or venison. Very few dogs have an allergy to these foods and they are very healthy. Its important to remember not to give him any treats that contain products other than whichever one you pick. For example, if you are feeding a venison and sweet potato diet, don't give him chicken treats, stick with dried sweet potato chews. It may take a few months for the symptoms to completely go away, but its important that you take the time to do this to identify the allergen.In the meantime, put some neosporin on the pustules or visit your veterinarian for a medicated spray or ointment.
