Just wanted to stop by and say hello to all the wonderful people here! You all have helped me, the hubby, and our bully girl Emma sooo much!
We adopted our lil 3-year-old gal around 5 weeks ago from breeders. She had had babies, complications with stitches shortly thereafter which ended up in a spay. 4 weeks later, she's on her way home with us.
She's had some issues with yeast/fungus in her nose rope/wrinkle, ears and I think even between her eyes, some pink in her face and little bumps on her head, hair loss (not balding, although she did have one spot on her back the vet thought may have been the remnants of a hotspot, as per a negative skinscrape), an interdigital cyst...oh and we won't even talk about her demeanor...poor thing was scared of everything! Ummm, I think that's it...haha! Bless this baby's heart, she's been through it! But, thanks to this forum, we've got her feeling and looking a lot better! (And thanks to patience, persistence, and some Cesar Millan books, we've got her more confident and upbeat and behaving more like the sweet doggie she is!) Anyway, I'm convinced 60% of her issues are/were stress-related and 40% diet/allergy related. Unbenounced to any of you, you've aided us first-time scared and confused EB owners in nursing this girl back to a much healthier bully...and for that we can't thank you enough!!!
So, here's a huge hello and a huge thanks to you all! Now, off I go to find a good posting place for my gabillion questions and hopefully be able to help others who are going through what we've been through...and dig out my laptop asap so I can share some pics with you guys!
Again, thanks so much,
Emma's Momma :D
