It is that time of year again, especially if you are living in the Northeast where it becomes hot and muggy. Many bullies will play until they drop. You must supervise the games, and determine when it is time to stop. During hot weather limit your dog's time outside. Be sure that there is a shaded area for your dog to rest in and that your dog has a constant supply of clean water. Never, EVER underestimate your bullies susceptibility to heat stroke. Limit their exposure to temperatures which you might personally find only mildly hot, be conscious of your dog's proximity to hot pavement, NEVER leave your Bulldog in a locked car in even mild weather, and always allow them lots of access to fresh water, shade, and cool areas to escape from heat. By the time you notice the onset of heatstroke in your bullie (excessive panting, the skin inside the ears becomes red/flushed, staggering, weakness, staggering, loss of bowels) it already cuts your bullies chances of survival in HALF.
I spent my morning trying through tears to help a bullie girl fight for her life through heat stroke when she was brought into the clinic where I work- sadly she passed over the Rainbow Bridge...she was only 3 years old
