Snookie ain't got nuttin on me!
The name of the vet in Staten Island isRichmond Valley Animal Hospitalhttp://www.englishbulldognews.com/fo...endations.html but did not find a vet near me. The closest one was Staten Island as pointed out by 2bullymama which is a bit of a car ride [about two hours depending on the traffic]. Will be searching for a qualified bully vet but if anyone knows/hears of one in Connecticut [Western located preferred or nearby New York near the Brewster area] I would appreciate it!!

Staten Island is kind of far from me. Would like to take him somewhere within our state if possible. With regards to the soft pallet, I did some research and kind of ruled out the trachea and moved the soft pallet into the number one spot. Reason for this was that after my bully eats he likes to play. When I play with him after he eats he starts to cough like he is clearing his throat. There have been times where we continued to play after him coughing and he threw up. Since observing this action we don't play anymore after he eats in order for him to keep his food in his belly. But never the less this is one thing that I never looked at as being part of the equation with regards to his current problem of panting like he ran a marathon. I'm a newbie bully owner but have learned tons since I owning my bully. Anyway, my educated guess is that my bully has an elongated/soft pallet issue but only a qualified vet can concur.

This is the best known vet in the area! We drove about 1 hr and half when Brutus had emergency surgery and he stayed for 4 days. We drove this everyday for 4 days! Its so worth it knowing they are in great hands with experience.
