Bull Terrier 5 months teething really bad

Hi we have a bully and she is teething incredibly bad. She is constantly trying to rub her face with her dew claws and has made them red raw as well as up her paws...her face is red all over and if you help rub her face it actually hurts how hard she is rubbing on our hand not her, the harder you rub the more she wants it harder. Her teeth look good and gums look good. We have got the NuVet Plus and have been trying that as I have written and posted pictures of that for other reasons. But we wonder how bad bullies teeth? Is there anything that you can recommend to help. She has toys but really doesn't play to much with them. She loves to eat ice or snow but not sure how much of that is good to give her. We do give her CBD oil and that helps for a lil while. And so far her appetite is great. But we are having a problem trusting vets as they don't seem to listen to what your trying to tell them or seem to know much about a puppy teething really and are only trying a process of elimination, can they not draw blood or something if they believe it to be other things. Sorry just so exhausted and have been doing a lot of research as it's horrible to see her suffer so. Have any of your bullies had severe teething issues? Any help would be appreciated as we have been struggling for a bit. Thank you in advance.

    Hello so sorry to hear your concerns for both of you :(
    A few pics would be good to see.
    I'm not a vet but it doesn't sound like a teething issue but a skin/inflammation/allergy/itchy issue in which any cooling would be liked hence the ice. If the vet and yourself see no gum or inflammation issues in her mouth I would be thinking skin reaction to something yes maybe environment plants etc...... or bedding, wash powder, household cleaning products etc.
    Have you researched home remedies for skin irritations? There's alot to try and may give her relief until you find the culprit. Poor girl it must be really bad if she doesn't have any whiskers left!
    You will get there, yes its very draining and disappointing when she is suffering but I wish you all the luck towards a good outcome. Let us know how you go fingers crossed you will relay some good news very soon :)

    Oh try giving her a nice cold safe bone for her to nibble if it distracts her from the irritations as long as it doesn't aggravate her gums/teeth.....just check for bleeding and its good to be able to give and take a bone from her whilst she's young lol
