5/14/16: Please welcome Betty! Betty was turned over to Cobb Co AC when her owner was sent to jail. Cobb Co AC called us and we were there within a few hours to pick her up. Thank you Shannon for giving Betty her a freedom ride! At this time we know she needs to be spayed, has a few...

Ran across this article. It's written by a doctor (vet?) and it states very clearly that this is a procedure that should be done on all english bulldogs if the owner wants to minimize the discomfort that comes along with being part of this breed. I had not heard before that this procedure is...

My Maximus suffers from Entropion of both eyes. The Opthamologist wants to do Surgery, but financially that just is not an option, plus Maximus weighs 83-lbs. and is a Surgical risk, as he is considered Obese, and therefore would not be able to withstand Anesthesia. But his (L) eye, which had...

So I have a 1 year old English bulldog who has had many issues with her eyes. She was diagnosed with distichia and on top of that she normally has pretty dry and irritated eyes, which we give her eye drops for daily. About 4 months ago she got cherry eye and it went away on it's own in about a...

Maximus is 6-years old. He is a love, but I find him some days awake and just staring into space for hours, that is when he is not sleeping. He can't go outdoors because he tore both of his ACL's and because he is Obese at 85-lbs he can not have surgery due to the fact that the Anesthesia would...

Has anyone ever had to have an ear hematoma surgically removed? Romeo has one in his left ear and the only way my vet will deal with it is with surgery so they can fully remove it.. However I am strongly against putting him under with anesthesia for obvious reasons that my vet didn't acknowledge...

I am concerned about my Bulldog. He is 6-years old and his name is Maximus. I see a change in his affect and behavior. He has numerous health problems which could be a part of it. He suffers from Allergies, Entropion, he has Hyperkeratosis of his Paws and his Nose. He is on a lot of medications...

Watson is going to need Cherry Eye surgery, his cornea is starting to get cloudy because of it and I've been combing this thread for all the info I can get before going to talk to an ophthalmologist. I'm so worried about putting him under, he's about to turn 4 and we just moved to a new area so...

I haven't been on much this past week dealing with Chumleys rear leg issue. All of a sudden he couldn't put any weight on it last Tuesday. He's limped before and I'd wait a few days before taking him to vet and it always seemed to get better within 3 days or so. This time looked different...

ABOUT MARMALADE Hi, Friends! My name is Marmalade and I’m 11 year young! I was was picked up by Animal Control in October of 2015. After my initial veterinary exam it was found that I had multiple health issues. I had been microchipped and my first owners were found, but due to the cost of my...

Hi all, my 9 month old Frank has been diagnosed with paraphimosis by my vet. Around 3-4 times a week Frank will get over excited (Only happens when I am asleep or not home) and his penis will get stuck outside his sheath and become heavily swollen with the appearance of a light bulb. Today I...

Hey guys i'm new to EBN and i'm hoping i can get some advice - my 2 year old French Bulldog is going in for surgery next week for his soft palate, nostrils the works and it's the first time he will be going under anesthesia. I understand there are a few different options for the anesthestic used...

Hi quick question. I am a new bulldog owner. I'm getting my female spayed next month. She will be 7 months. I have used my vet for years but I am nervous about anesthesia for the bulldogs. Do you guys go to a bulldog specialist? Or regular vet??

Hello all! Bob is now 16 months old and just had his palate trimmed as his nares were fine. Surgery went great and I brought him home yesterday afternoon. He's high as a kite on doggy morphine (lucky him!) and thankfully recovering just fine. They required him to sleep there in case of...

YAY! I finally figured out the forum. Anywho, my 9 month old male bully (Charlie...aka Mr. Handsome) has cherry eye. He's had it for about a month and Ive read all sorts of things on what to do about it. I tried massaging it back in place a few times, and it would stay for a few hours or half a...

Hey guys, turning to the forums for help b/c no vet in my area can seem to figure out whats wrong with my Whiskey. This is really more for Vets as i feel this is a very uncommon issue. I'll try to keep this as short as possible but include all the relevant facts. In a nutshell, my bulldog can...

Hello EBN, I just scheduled Opie to get neutered...during the procedure they are going to check out his palate and evaluate for a future procedure. I have read about bulldogs and surgeries being a little scary..but now that he is actually scheduled I am freaking out inside. We normally see a...

What are your thoughts on anesthesia for my Macon, at her age, for teeth cleaning and extraction? She's 13? Possibly as young as 10. Quite frankly I'm afraid she won't survive. Does anyone think she can live with the cavities if I can get her teeth cleaned up with brushing? I don't want to bring...

I mentioned before that Bella has had a limp in her front right leg. It started right after vigorous play with another dog. The vet checked her out and determined that it was a "sports injury." They gave her meds, which helped. This all was months ago. Since that time, she's limped...

After trying to battle allergies with food changes,shampoos and holistic/natural remedies. We had to break down and try steroids to keep him comfortable this year. Unfortunately, every time we wean off the steroids the uncontrollable itching comes back with a vengeance. My veterinarian advised...
