Hello
My husband and I have been interested in adopting a bulldog for quite some time. I occasionally look at craigslist for English bulldog postings, and I found an ad for a 4 year old girl bully but she looks like she's in terrible shape. She is grossly overweight, and the owner stated that she has cherry eye in both eyes. I want to help this girl out so bad- the weight loss part doesn't phase me, I have nurtured my current adopted doggy back to great health after receiving her in fat shape. But the cherry eyes- I have read many forums with dog owners stating that they fixed their dog's cherry eye with a massage technique. Other sites mentioned that sometimes surgery is needed. The idea of a big vet surgery bill is intimidating. I wish the owners had found a better home for her long ago before she ended up in this state. Any advice appreciated!!
