I have posted on here before about little lulu. My little angel that I rescued in Indiana! I had gotten her when she was just 6 weeks old. She was literally as big as my hand. I've had her ever since and she will now be 7 months. She's perfect, potty trained, and a good puppy. I have noticed that she is tiny! About the size of a Chihuahua to be exact. By that I also mean skinny. I go to a vet that is very reasonable on vaccinations but his office is run down which is why he is so cheap. I go to him for cheap vaccinations but never serious issues for my bullies. I took my baby lulu in to get checked out yet again for her skinniness. Before he told me bulldogs go through an akward phase and she would just be a smaller English bulldog. She only weighs 18 pounds at 7 months too. Now yesterday, he listens to her heart and tells me she has a ventricle that is opened and she will not live long. Infact she will stay tiny!!! He thinks this is also why she is so skinny. The nerve of him to tell me to put her down! When she shows no signs of even having a heart problem! He claimed opened heart surgery is an option but is a waste of money because it can be unsuccessful. He also claims that she has way too much of an overbite. And if we're lucky she'll make it to 3. I'm so heartbroken. I cried all last night. I am going to get a second opinion though. He was so harsh. This is the reason I only get vaccinations from this vet. He's misdiagnosed my sisters dog. However they did tell me lulu had a slight heart murmur but he told me she grew out of it. And now she has this?! He said there is no medications that will help! However keep in mind he did no X-rays, no bloodwork, and no tests. Just listened to her heart for a long time. What do I do? Where do I go from here? She's an English bulldog that is literally as big as a chihuahua. This is not normal! She's skinny! And I have pictures ill post. Please help. Especially if you've had this issue.
