Hi guys...

[BrittneyBrandt]

My baby bully is 3 months old and a really loud breather. I can feel a rumble in her lungs but vet says she's perfectly healthy.. is this normal?

 

[2BullyMama]

At that young... I'd be concerned too. did they vet listen to her lungs or just say 'it's normal' without listening?

 

[BrittneyBrandt]

She listened. ...

Could be an elongated palate. Try to find a good bully vet in your area have a look. Not all vets are good with bullies.

What do they do for elongated palate?

Surgery but it helps immensely. I'd have them check her out first it could be anything. Welcome to EBN!

Is it deadly if they don't have surgery? ?

It can be, that's why it's important to talk with a bully vet.

if it is the palate, then a good experienced bully vet will be able to address the issue. I had two of mine with this and it totally helps with the breathing and phelm build up. it does not eliminate the issue, it helps lessen the problem.

How much does it cost?

How much does it cost?

A lot of factors determine the costs.... my EB male, Nitschke was done at a specialist because of complexity, my vet was not comfortable doing it all and that was about $3000 back in 2006 or 2007. Our Frenchie, Cheli was done last year and his was about $1100
