Hi sheila - thanks so much for reaching out to me. I just left you a private message. I will try you this evening after you get home from work, and settled in. If I miss you tonight - I can try you tomorrow night. There was no titer ratio reading for Rocco - "yet". The vet said we caught it so...

Hello Bully friends I wanted to give you an update on Rocco and his move to AZ. I'm very sad to tell you that he has come down with Vally Fever. He was diagnosed 5 weeks ago through chest x-ray and symptoms -although he has yet to test positive for the valley fever anti-body - most likely...

Hi - You most likely have demodex mange. Rocco has had it when he was just under 1 years old. You should search this website for a few previous posts I've done, and other's have also done in the past. They can be very helpful. My understanding is that bulldogs have weaken immune symptoms for the...

Hi! Rocco gets hives on and off and we find that sometimes it is related to food changes, sometimes it is related to airborne allergies, and sometimes we just don't know what is the cause. Benadryl was our first choice when he was initially getting hives, but it really knocked him out and didn't...

Hi there. Just checking in to let you know we moved to Chandler 2 weeks ago! Things are going great so far. We love it here - and Rocco is settling in great. We worry so much about the heat - but so far so good. Lots of cool tile for him to sleep on in the AC and very little time outside (early...

Just wanted to update all of you on our move from Seattle to AZ. We have been here 2 weeks and are doing great! The drive down was long and tiring - but I think my husband and I had a harder time with it than Rocco. He slept pretty much the whole way. We made lots of stops for water and...

Did you guys start your bully meet up group in Gilbert/Phoenix? I am moving to AZ from Seattle, WA next week. I would love to meet some other bully owners and hear all about how best to settle into this new climate. I know I'm coming down in the hottest part of summer (yikes!) - but it was the...

Lol TheLost. thanks so much for your advice. I will be sure to keep these tips in mind. Can't wait for the change. I am still traveling back to Seattle 50% of the time - so I will be logging a lot of miles - but its worth it! K

good luck with your bully baby. Be patient, and try to make all these transitions slowly, as many other bullies have mentioned. It took my bully about 8 weeks for his hair to grow back after the treatment was complete. Ivermectin has been successful for many other owners I've met. Just be...

Thanks TomnZon! I was quite taken aback at the almost violent reaction I was getting from some folks on here about my food choice. In fact I filed a complaint that the responses were bordering on quite alarming, which they agreed that they would monitor this particular poster. I'm sure they...

Thanks! I pay $66 for Science Diet D/D for a 17 lb bag - so this is almost a 50% savings! I'm really torn if I should make a change in food for Rocco or not. He is tolerating the prescription Science Diet just fine. No hives, great coat, nice firm poops, and he loves it. So - I'm still undecided...

Thank you everyone for your help and recommendations! I so appreciate my extended family here on EBN! I'm excited and anxious for the big change for me and for my baby bully Rocco. I will actually be splitting my time between Seattle and AZ so I get the chance to get away from the heat - but...

This is a very common thing for our breed and yes it is related to their less than stellar immune system. My bully had demodex mange at 7 months. His was pretty bad (6-7 spots) and he was breaking out in hives. My vet felt it was severe enough that he had to get the mitoban dips. You can...
