breathing

I have a 9 1/2 year old bully. She is a snorer and always has been. She has gained a little weight and I am working on trimming her down. (She’s slowed down and need to adjust food). Something she stops snoring and almost seems to stop breathing for a few moments. My understanding is weight...

Merry Christmas Y’all! Hope everyone is doing well. Millie got her DHLPP vaccine Thursday. Starting late Friday and more into Saturday she has become very rattling in her breathing with a bunch of reverse sneezing. I’m wondering if this is a reaction to the vaccine or if she has a cold or...

Hi everyone! We just purchased our very first bully, she is 11 weeks old, adorable and hysterical. Can be a bit of a devil at times though too. Lots of biting, chasing feet, etc. She got me really good today, blood and everything. I thought she was climbing up in my lap for a cuddle but she took...

My English Bulldog Reggie developed a dent in her head near her ear on her left side. All of a sudden it was just there. I brought her to the vet yesterday and they want to do X rays with Anesthesia. She is going to be 10 in November. I am concerned with her age and the Anesthesia. Has...

Our vet has referred us to a specialist to have Walter's sinuses looked at. She recommended having the sinus surgery done as soon as possible to prevent it from causing any health issues down the road. While this makes perfect sense to me, I'm still concerned about his age and the amount of...

I've decided that I'm going to try to document Ollie's experience with TPLO (tibial-plateau leveling osteotomy) surgery. I'm pretty much having to learn everything on my own. Maybe some time down the road someone might find this useful. If it needs to be moved, feel free Moderator/s. In the...

Hello! This last weekend we added a new member to our family. Walter is not my first or only dog, but he is the first English Bulldog I've ever owned. The breeder selling him said that the puppies were 8 weeks old, and as I fell in love with this guy immediately. I was not looking for...

:( We always knew that NSAIDs can have the horri-bull side effect of stomach bleeding (and other bad ones!) , plus, we know that black stools mean "old blood". Anyway, we weren't home when it happend, but Thursday at 5:00, DH came home to find Sophie sleeping peacefully and in NO distress, but...

when it comes to smarts, he's definitely got a few kinks in his slinky. Last Friday AM he starts showing signs of lethargy...slow-rolling it through breakfast. He eventually eats it all but there wasn't that usual rush. A few hours later he pukes a good amount of it up...followed by labored...

I just noticed a swollen area in Brutus’s mouth. It’s under his tongue and looks like a fluid filled sac. It’s really hard to look at or get a picture, I’ll try to get one. Is this an emergency? Can I just make him an appointment in a day or two? Just watch it? He’s 4 months old and hasn’t had...

Just an update on looking for a vet for soft palate surgery for my little man Vader. He was starting to get worse and I decided to have the surgery here in Memphis, rather than transport him to Dallas, to his regular vet. Memphis Veterinary Specialist ER, DVM DACVS Chase Atwood did the surgery...

Hi, I moved away from my regular vet in Dallas to Memphis, TN - Top of MS area. Vader had a bad visit yesterday at the local vet for breathing issues and I had to take him to an ER that was around the corner per vet recommendation as he was turning blue from the lack of O2. The local vet is good...

Bella constantly likes eating grass. She does it all the time. Last weekend we caught her chewing on a long grass in the yard and the next morning at 1am she puked up a rather large amount of it when we were sleeping. For the following 15 minutes or so she kept hacking almost like dry-heaving...

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE :firecracker: Im back and forth between LA NY and Houston. Im tired of boarding my Dog or leaving her with family members who dont even have dogs themselves(They all love her nonetheless).... I spoke to southwest and did my research. I can board with her in the cabin...

It's been 2 days and it still feels surreal. I have never experienced such shock and pain in my life. Gus was only 7 and had only just started getting senior side effects. He started getting seizures last year, but I was able to help him and he hadn't had once in 9 months. Friday morning he...

Hey guys wondered if I could pick peoples brains about elongated palate. So Ronnie had an endoscopy done about a month ago and was told he does have this and it's thickened by around 1c m. Now as you know he's not been keeping to great and continues to inhale food and has had another episode...

My EB has been up panting heavily for 2 nights. I have no idea what's going on, but I don't like the sound of this at all. I do give him Rimadyl for pain, so perhaps he has a bad infection going on. I don't know. His heavy breathing is troubling and I may have to call the VET.
