    Thank you for your advice, I took him in for an X-ray and vet said he will pass it through with no issues.

    My bulldog swallowed a chicken wing

    We are about 80% sure Crabcake swallowed a drum bone from A chicken wing last night. Just a really stupid thing I did by putting my plate that was already eaten on the ground, and not seeing him for a few seconds. We were googling to see if we immediately needed to go to the hospital and that...

    Recommendations following soft palate surgery

    Recommendations following soft palate surgery

    So my normal vet just called me. He said he has been unable to get in touch with my surgeon so far, but he agreed with the approach of mixing his wet food with the dry food that has been softened with hot water. He said that it sounded quite unusual to give him dry food although everything was...

    Recommendations following soft palate surgery

    Ty for all the help. Still waiting to hear back from my vet, decided to give him a small portion of wet food, maybe a few times today. He seems to be in better spirits today, very affectionate and far less of the gurgling noises, although he is certainly snoring quite loudly which actually is...

    Recommendations following soft palate surgery

    Ughhh, I asked this surgeon and assistants multiple times about the wet food/dry food and they were all insistent on dry food. He didn't touch his dry food today and only ate things that I wrapped the medicine in like cheese bites and roast beef. Really don't know what to do but think im...

    Recommendations following soft palate surgery

    He’s home now but there is a lot of inflammation and he is making a lot of gurgling noises and tons of drooling that he can’t control. Trying to ignore him as much as possible so that he doesn’t get excited at all which is very difficult. Also he has dried blood still in his folds that really...

    Recommendations following soft palate surgery

    Ty for your help. Keeping that dude calm is going to be quite the challenge. I took all of his toys off floor and anything he might jumpm up for. Also going to try to keep him off the couch which will be difficult. Im sure everyone here knows, they just have such short bursts of energy that...

    Recommendations following soft palate surgery

    about to turn 3 years old, he is on a mix of dry and wet. My plan was to stick to just wet so that his diet doesn't change much for the week

    Recommendations following soft palate surgery

    Crabcake had his soft palate surgery today. I got the good news quickly that the surgery went well and he woke up with no issues. Hoping to get him back tomorrow morning if inflammation is kept down tonight. Do you guys have any recommendations in terms of what and how much food to give him...

    Earthquake in my area

    Well I can confirm that Crabcake did not stop snoring during either earthquake, I also am able to sneak up on him in his crate in the morning sometimes when he doesn't hear me wake up so.... not the most observant bully ever

    Emergency room

    Thank you for the information. Very difficult sometimes to tell what to do with these guys because so often there are two very different viewpoints on what to do. I think I am going to try to take a week off without the benadryl and see if there is any difference.
