Thank you. I'm thinking it was a stomach bug coupled with back/hip pain making her uncomfortable. She's not lightly shaking after eating and a small dose of tramadol.

Yes she's helped me before and I appreciate the things suggested. Got home from the doctors and checked those 2 things and both look good. Gums are a light pink color and skin rebounds normally. She's acting a little bit more normal and seems a little more happy with wagging her tail and...

Thanks for the tips! My fiancée just sent me a text saying that she is eating a little more chicken again and she is drinking water. I'll check those 2 things out when I get back from the doctors and see how it looks. Thank you so much for the info!

Thank you. Yea I know it's all judgement since I know her best but I also want to be cautious just in case. I'll see how she is when I get home and go from there and I'll see about the skin on the back of her head.

Thanks for the reply; I'm certainly not going to rule obstruction as it seems others (like yourself) are more familiar with this process than I am. I just didn't get a comfortable feeling from the vet; seemed like they wanted to do all this stuff and really provided no information and suggested...

Thanks for the response everyone. There's no obstruction according to the X-ray of her belly and she's pretty good with not eating anything she's not familiar with so I don't think she would have digested anything she shouldn't of. Her poops are normal and solid. She did eat a small bit of...

Agreed. I tried to give her water last night figuring if she was sick and her stomach was empty, she might be hydrated. Gave her a little bit of water in her bowl but she wanted nothing to do with it. I took some water and ran it over her mouth though because it looked very dry. She was...

Figured I'd just post to see if I could get any other additional information as I wasn't too fond of the answers or should I say lack there of from the vet. So this morning around 830 or so I get a text from my fiancée that Stella got sick after eating. I figured it was just a one time thing but...

thanks for the reply everyone. I took Stella back to the vet Saturday morning since she was still shaking and didnt seem right. The vet that looked at her this time did a more through check of her and said it appears she hurt her back hence the shaking. Said it could have been from getting on...

she does seem a bit better now. shes walking around and walks over to her bowl to eat. noticed last night when she was laying on the couch, her breathing is still a little quick but not as bad or as loud as a few days ago and shes not shaking as much.

well the breathing and shaking issues didnt start till after i used the Advantix and see was eating all day yesterday. The only odd thing that could be attributed to a symptom prior to the use of Advantix is her just resting and relaxing which I could see from being sick although i'm not vet so...

thank you for the link and information! they did not draw any blood; the vet seemed pretty positive that the permethrin was the cause of the issue. My gf did text me around lunch time to let me know that Stella did eat however she had to bring her bowl of food over to her but she did eat...

So to get to the short of the story, found a tick on Stella Tuesday night on the back of her neck and removed the tick using tweezers (full body came out, nothing left behind). Not sure how long the tick was on there for but if I had to guess I would say 36 hours max. Fast forward to...

thank you both for the responses. i have seen Nuvet mentioned on the forum during my research on supplements. I'll take a look at their site, thank you

Just curious what is a good joint supplement for Bulldogs? I'd like to start Stella on one but I'm not sure where to begin or what to look for when choosing a supplement. I've seen several different brands at my local store all with different ingredients/vitamins but I want to make sure that...
