My first dog was a pug. He's 11 now. We were roommates in college, he saw me get married, live in 2 houses, and have 2 kids. He's laying under me right now. We are very close. :) He's very similar to a bulldog, but not as stubborn. He listens when I tell him something. I had a french bulldog...

Thanks for indulging my drama. I called the vet and she said it's most likely trauma or teething. I pushed on all his gums and I couldn't make any blood come out. The pooled blood and saliva must have been left over. There were no actively bleeding spots. I think he's ok. He's acting normal...

Thanks guys. This is weird. It's been going on a few days b/c we noticed a few days ago that his breath smelled bad. Now I realize what it is. It's that iron-y blood smell. This morning I pulled his lower lip down and he has bood and saliva pooled in there on the opposite side of last night...

Well I shouldn't have googled it because all these systemic diseases came up. I'm going to take him to the vet in the morning. Thanks.

Emmitt is 9 months old so he shouldn't have any perio infections yet. I don't see any signs of trauma. We found a lot of blood on our bed and his dog bed. I searched him up and down and realized the gums around his lower teeth looked puffy. I pushed on them and all this blood starting...

She wants me to apply it every 21 days for three cycles. Emmitt's don't look too irritated right now, just bald patches. They look bigger since he was there today. I'm not sure what they did at the office that made them grow. Maybe they shaved around them. Who knows?

Great news! Glad to hear it.

Yep, it was demodectic mange. He's on promeris and Cephlexin. Luckily it doesn't seem to bother him too much. Let's hope it doesn't get much worse before it gets better.

Emmitt was just diagnosed with demodectic mange today and she's putting him on 3 rounds of promeris. She's also prescribing some Cephlexin to prevent infection. Emmitt is 7 months old.

Thanks guys. I'll put some triple antibiotic on it for now and call the vet.

A few weeks ago Emmitt had three little bumps that looked like bug bites. They were raised pink and the hair was missing there. All the animals in the house are on flea control so I'm not sure what they were. Anyway, 2 of the 3 bumps didn't heal well. The bump is down, but the skin is red and...

Oh yeah, and we have a stainless steel slow feeder bowl. It was given to us by Bellas mom.

You have very handsome bulldogs. Emmitt is 6 months old and 26 pounds and looks much skinnier than your dog. I am a little concerned that my dog doesn't look stocky and filled out like yours, but the weight is the same. I started feeding him more and am trying some digestive enzymes.

Wow! That's amazing and he was so quick.

Thanks everyone. We ended up taking Emmitt back to the ER vet late Friday night b/c he was puffing up again. The ER vet said it was just too much food too soon. There was no blockage. The weekend was good. He seems back to normal.
