I've been an English Bulldog mommy for over 10 years and I'm grateful to have found this site. I have not been able to get over the loss of our beloved bully Dozer 2 years ago. He went in for a routine surgery for cherry eye which led to Gastric dilatation volvulus (also known as bloat or a twisted stomach) is a medical condition in which the stomach becomes overstretched by excessive gas ... I should have known, it would have possibly saved his life. Since then I've changed to A Vet that is more knowledgeable & informative and try to gain as much in-site as I can so that my family will never experience that heartbreak ever again. R.I.P. Big Baby...


P.S. IF YOU NOTICE YOUR BULLDOG ACTING OUT OF HIS/HER ORDINARY CHARACTER AND YOU SUSPECT SOMETHING'S WRONG, TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS! PLEASE DON'T WAIT. GET HELP. IT'S BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY.

Hi [MENTION=8633]suzieq[/MENTION] ! welcome to the site.

I'm so sorry about Dozer. I have sadly heard many stories of bloat and how life threatening it is.

I'm so happy you found EBN--we're a bunch of folks here who love our bullies and learn many things from each other. Looking forward to hearing about and seeing pics of Diesel and Princess Fiona.

Welcome to EBN, wonderful, knowledgeable & kind people here.

I'm very sorry that you lost Dozer and to complications from surgery.

Brutus was my 1st bully, rehomed to me last July, when I joined EBN.

He died from having his teeth cleaned, they believe to heart arrythmia.

I'd had him 6 & 1/2 months but loved him so deeply so know your pain.

Happily, Davidh on here, called me about a bully needing a home, Cami,
who's been here just 3 weeks...Heaven!

Again, welcome!!

:smileywelcome: So sorry for your loss. Bloat is a horrible disorder that can really sneak up on you. I have been very fortunate, but have had friends who lost beloved animals to bloat and these were people who are long-time reputable breeders. I can't wait to see pictures of your bullies!

Hi ad welcome to the site. I am sorry for your loss, but I will heed your advice. I call my Vet if I notice something different about their behavior and I check here for advice, especially with Gomer having his issues.

:welcome: SuzieQ, so very sorry to hear of your loss of Dozer. :(

I am so glad you want to help educate others on the dangers of bloat, it is not talked about as often as it should be.
