    Did anyone have the surgery and have it not work?

    Bristol had her palate and nares done almost a month ago and we haven't noticed a difference. She still pants constantly. We haven't noticed any difference. She caught aspiration pneumonia and spent a week in th O2 cage. She is still on meds and has a recheck Tuesday but I am frustrated that...

    What is the sz of your EB- not wieght but measurements

    So Penny was a rescue; she is big but doesn't look like an OEB. The vets say nope she is just a big English bulldog. I don't think we noticed how big until we got Bristol and she didn't grow to the size we expected. The vets took blood test when we first had her evaluated for the soft palate...

    Walter's surgery is in the morning...

    Walter's hip x-ray and neuter is scheduled for tomorrow morning… I took him to the groomer's today so he could get cleaned up beforehand, and Ms. Penni told me that he growled at her when she was washing his stomach. He has NEVER done that before :( Today he was SO crazy, barking at the TV...

    Bristol is back in the ER

    She had her soft palate and nares done Wednesday. Since she had a small cough and regurgitated once instead of her coming home Thursday they kept her until yesterday. They took an X-ray and didn't see pneumonia and scheduled a recheck for Monday. We brought her home yesterday armed with many...

    Bristols surgery is today!!

    I am a wreck. I dropped her off at 7am. I had her pre-op appointment yesterday where the surgeon once again went over the nares surgery and and the soft palette resection. She said she would come home with anti nausea drugs and they would monitor whether she would need steroids but no barking...

    Post-op complications after Beefs soft palate surgery..

    So these past 24 hours have been the worst of my life. Beefs soft palate surgery, nares widening and neuter was Wednesday morning. We took beef home Thursday around 4pm. He was doing a lot of gaging/retching and threw up a few piles of white phlegm/foam. Everything seemed fine and we all went to...

    Soft palate surgery tomorrow...

    Beef is going for his soft palate surgery tomorrow (with possible removal of any saccules and widening the nares) and neuter... I'm sick to my stomach about it but I know it will be the best for him in the long run. I Could really use some prayers for a safe surgery, I'm so nervous :(

    Just heard back from the surgeon advice needed

    Bristol went in for her surgical evaluation today-Brachycephalic Syndrome. They said she does need to have her nares opened and her soft pallet shortened. They said it was one of the longest they have seen and went into her airway, they said her saccules are soft and don't need to be removed...

    New here mama of two with lots of questions

    Hi I am new here -4 years ago we got our first Bullie from a rescue. No one could age her as she had worn her teeth down to nubs but the best guess was she was 3 or 4 at the time. So now 7 or 8. She has been such an amazing addition to our family. Behavior wise a super star and health wise so...

    seriously stressed out.. soft palate surgery

    Hi guys, so we met with a different vet for a second opinion regarding beefs breathing and like i could've guessed he highly suggests the elongated soft palate surgery, nares widening, and (if necessary when he gets in there) removing saccules. I also would like him neutered if he needs all this...

    I HAVE BEEN ADOPTED! ~Griffin~ English Bulldog Available for Adoption in Florida~

    In November Griffin had a consult with dr Sardinas, board certified surgeon, at Miami Veterinary Specialists this morning. We are looking at a definite need for palate and nares surgery. His left ear is probably going to need an ear ablation surgery; it's so stenotic that it is unlikely it will...

    The babies turned 6 months old on Sunday!!!

    Omg! I've survived probably the hardest 3 months of my life since having newborn babies!!! LMBO!!! Seriously though- things are definitely getting much easier. Next week Penny goes in to get spayed and her nares opened up as well. By looks of Lockjaw, we will be adding surgery for his cherry eye...

    Prayer request… Wally's second eye surgery is tomorrow!!!

    Walter's second round of eye surgery is scheduled for tomorrow… Ray is home, so we decided to go ahead and get it over with. It's important to do this a second time to remove any lashes that have grown back, and the vet saw a couple at his last re-check. While he is under she will also check...

    not even sure what the title should be

    I am sitting here in shock and could cry at any moment. So Radar had his 2nd ACL surgery 2 weeks ago, I took him to the vet for an x-ray to see how things were going cause he doesn't seem to be healing as fast as the first time -- thought that may happen since it was time 2 -- went to pick him...

    Wally's back to his ol' self again...

    Today Walter is officially off his restricted activity… it was really cool here this morning so I took him for a short walk in the hood. He did fantastic… I can tell a HUGE difference in his breathing since having his nares and palate done. None of the gasping for air that seemed to follow...

    Walter's surgery is scheduled for Tues...

    It's time… Ugh!!! :( Walter is due for his vaccines this month, and Ray may be leaving again soon for another job so I can't put it off any longer. Walter's eye ulcer looks to be getting worse, so it's time to do his surgery. He will have his inner eyelashes removed, and his nares widened by...

    What do we need???

    It's official on May 11 Radar is having his nares, palate and acl fixed. I got a preapproval from Trupanion for all of it, so that part is out of the way. My husband is building Radar a carpeted ramp to use on the stairs to get outside, I have our hotel room booked for the night he has to stay...
