Thanks Davidh, that's what we will keep doing. Manydogs, oh I know, the puppy world can be a real challenge. I can't express how angry I was for him leaving it on the kitchen floor (not where I keep it). I know it was a mistake, and he never figured he'd do that. But I really try to keep...

We got Ginger a baby brother about a month ago. His name is Dozer, and has us all wrapped around his little paw. However we had a scary evening last night. We went out and bought a bag of puppy food for him, and grabbed us some food for dinner. While we were eating, I didn't realize my...

Thanks again for all the advice! I will definitely try one cup twice a day. Especially with the Fromm. Momma2bullies, I know exactly what you mean, I just want her to be stable too. It's so hard to find what works for them, when they are all so different. I've got my fingers crossed that the...

I would say she gets about 1 1/2 cups twice per day. Today at the vet she weighed 36 pounds. It can sometimes look like undigested food, but this last time was so bad it was just pure water. She poops maybe 3 times a day when it's firm (thanks to pumpkin). When it's diarrhea though, it's much...

So in the past few weeks we've had a few vet visits with Ginger (that turned one years old a few weeks ago). She developed pretty severe diarrhea. As in explosive diarrhea (my poor son was sitting behind her when it started and got completely sprayed!). Pumpkin, rice and boiled chicken did...

I am still concerned about allergies, since they are known for such skin issues. We feed her a grain free dry diet that has turkey. Then we mix in some grain free wet food that is chicken. So if this doesn't clear up with the medication might have to look at diet for sure. Anything else besides...

Ok, so we are back from the vet! She comes in and says it can be a few things. Ringworm, demodex, or scabies. Ick all the way! But they did a skin scraping and a test for ringworm. The ringworm test I guess can take up to 10 days, so we won't have those back for a while. However she did see the...

So Ginger is 7 months old now. Has been quite healthy up until now. We've noticed some round bald spots. One under her neck, which is the biggest one (about a half a dollar size), and two on her back (dime size). They look a little red, but not real bad. Not scabbed or anything. The biggest...

I love my bully so much that when she falls asleep across my legs I won't move to wake her, even though my legs have been LONG numb! :)

Ginger, like so many other bulldogs, eats like she's never ate before! Even though she eats plenty every day! I'm worried about her having issues with bloat. She has also choked on her food twice now from gobbling down like crazy! She threw up one evening, and her dinner was not chewed at all...

Oh yes, she likes my bed too! She slept with us for almost the first week until we woke up to some :poo: at the foot of the bed!! :eek: You can wash the cover on this bed, and it was only $20. The cover does come off very easily, just zips off. Had to look at what was inside it. It's got it's...

This is a huge bed from Costco. You can only see a part of it. But she loves it, and I'm sure she'll grow in to it at some point!

We rescued a pup that ended up having Kennel Cough one time (not a bulldog). The poor baby had it for about 6 weeks. They did two 10 day rounds of antibiotics. The cough just dragged on and on it seemed. In this case it seemed to just be viral. But I was glad to have her on the antibiotics as a...

Thanks so much for the warm welcome! I'm sure I will have lots of questions, and of course many more pictures to come! :)

Hi everyone. Thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Jennifer, and we have a 12 week old English Bulldog pup, named Ginger. That's her in my avatar. We've had her for 2 weeks now. She's my spoiled little princess already. This looks like a wonderful community, and I've learned so much already...
