[h=3]Now that summer is here and the temperatures are rising, lemon juice is a good thing to keep on hand in case of emergencies.

Pet Nurse Marie's tips ; Lemon for bulldogs[/h]

Safety tip for bulldogs, pugs and others;






Lemon JUICE, keep on hand

Pet Nurse Marie's blog; Lemon for Bulldogs
"Keep a small squeeze bottle of lemon juice handy, such as the kind made by RealLemon®.
If your Bulldog is overheated, breathing can become unusually labored and loud, and the tongue may begin to turn bluish.
Much of this is caused by a buildup of phlegm that blocks the airways.
One good squirt of lemon juice to the back of the dog's mouth will clear this phlegm instantly and breathing will improve immediately-- Try to squirt towards the Side and then back of the mouth.. NOT too much
You can also squirt to the side of the dog's mouth ...

This really works .. keep some around

Excellent info Monica. I always have lemon juice in the fridge just for the bulldogs. It really does break up the phlem.
