To the vet for Beefy tomorrow

[cali~jenn]

You poor thing. I can only guess to know how tired of this you are. Hopefully you will find a good dr in y our area who knows more and you are comfortable with. I say if you dont feel like your dr knows enough, find a better one that specializes in this more. Even if you have to make a drive it surely would be worth it to get some real help. Especially if you are thinking surgery, finding a specialist would be a good idea. Keep us posted!!!

Poor Beefy. I think I'd be calling around to find a vet who specializes in EBs. I can only imagine how frustrated you must be. Good luck with his appointment.

I am not sure how you can tell if they know what they're doing or not, go with your gut feeling that's usually always right for me. My gut told me the vet that LIBR sent me to with Blossom was not this wonderful bulldog vet that they had been led to believe. No fault of theirs, they're in NY and I am in NH I think someone took a bully there once and did OK and told someone he was a great bulldog vet. I knew the min. he said it didn't matter what food she eat and grains were fine for her. That was the last time I went I have taken here twice to my vet and paid myself rather then go back there. We have a new vet at our vets office and when I took Blossom I knew I was going to love Dr. Jenna when she spent an hour and a half with her on our first appointment.

Please see if you can that ointment I told you about that goes into his anal and try using the F3W wipes because they're a little stronger and have more of a drying factor then the F1W. Mack does not do well on the F1W wipes at all they can sometimes make it worse. I am here if I can help just let me know or you know you can call anytime, good luck

so how did the vet go???

[gatorfan85]

ok so i got the f3 wipes YAY!! they had them finally , they are going to order the cream YAY again and if its not better in or improved in 10-14 days its the antibiotic that @Ann Farley Hamilton suggested she said if this doesnt work that def will. Also she said to keep the same diet and if in 6 more weeks he's not improved we'll change diet and he has to take a daily enzyte and probiotic. Thanks for the concern!!! i lub u guys

[bullmama]

Good news to hear. I hope you finally nip this in the bud! Or bully butt

[gatorfan85]

lol yes bully butt . well i do have some bad news.....he has gained weight....he now weighs 73lbs but the vet said for his build its a good weight

[BruceP]

73? Wow, that's almost two of Gracie. Glad to hear he is doing better. Gracie goes in this morning to get her stitches from her hernia surgery taken out. Then we are gonna go see if we can find a coat for her. Oh yeah, a new coat for Lari too.. lol

[gatorfan85]

@BruceP Thanks i am glad Princess Gracie made it thru surgery ok. Dinah (puppy i'm planning on adopting) has a hernia too but they may not be able to remove it because of her heart condition. I tried to get Beefy a coat at petsmart yesterday but...they wouldnt fit.Also who is Lari???

[kazzy220]

@gatorfan85 I don't have much luck with clothes for Maggie at Petsmart either. I bought her a bright orange halloween dress with a black fur trim in L and it was so tight around her chest I don't think she could breathe! The next size up XL was gi-normous!!!! However, at the moment I have a mini schnauzer prancing around the house in a bright orange dress looking very very pleased with herself!

[Ann Farley Hamilton]

@gatorfan85 So glad you got the wipes and that the cream is on the way I think you will see a difference, I hope. Right about the food it can take a good 6 weeks for it all to start working patience is what we need when changing foods or diets. It sounds like you're like me don't have any I want to see it work now, so if it's not I can find something that will. If having bullies has taught me anything it's patience's.

OK you guys as far as bully cloths Lou s doggie boutique she's here on this site, FB and her web site. Stuff made just for bullies so it fits right. Also London Canine Couture bully cloths to she's on FB. Good luck no what kind of coat I put on Mack he goes into the woods with it on and comes out with out it, and then I have to go find it.
