Hello! I just adopted my first bulldog, Bella. She is 15 weeks old and I have had her one week today. First let me say that I did do my homework and knew going into this that bulldogs can have a lot of health problems. On the trip home, I saw her one eye was beet red. After getting her out of the car, her white head turned very pink after being outside just a very short time. I called the breeder and she said they had been outside quite a bit and maybe the red eye was from that. The next morning, both her eyes were beet red with discharge and she had an obvious allergy to the outdoors. So Thurs morning I took her to the vet. She was running a temp and he said she has severe allergies. He gave me meds for the allergies and antibiotic drops for conjunctivitis. So then on Sat I noticed her eye looked as if she were getting cherry eye. Today I'm pretty sure it is cherry eye. I will be calling the vet to have it checked. My question is this, should I call the breeder and ask for help with these vet bills and cherry eye surgery? Is that the right thing to do? I have never adopted a dog from a breeder before. She does come with a 1 year health guarantee. However, I do not want to give her back!!
Thanks for any advice,
Karen
