Indeed, when you know your pups, you know…

I woke up to Lala having labored breathing. We called Vet right away and sent them a video of her struggling. Vet advised to get her to E-Vet right away...she needed oxygen. Before we could get her to the car she puked up a small amount of bile. She had eaten her dinner several hours earlier...

1. Choose the food you want to feed. 2. Offer the food you want to feed by placing it in a bowl and bowl on floor for 15 minutes. 3. After 15 minutes, take the offering away. 4. At next mealtime, repeat. 5. Continue this until your Bulldog is eating what you offer, when you offer it...

A Martingale collar (properly fitted) will cinch up with enough room to put at least 4 fingers between the neck and the collar...always leaving plenty of room to breathe. Properly fitted, a bulldog cannot back out of the collar. Do NOT use collars with buckles. The buckles will eventually...

We've only had a few that didn't jump. Most will jump(on people, furniture, barriers, over short fences, other bulldogs, etc.) until trained not to. Even then it's hit or miss what they will attempt to jump over. However, I've yet to see one jump over a food bowl.

Nice work! The surgery should helps a lot with most dogs. You’ll likely see his activity rise to a level not seen in years. GL!

Push/flip it back in and look for it to pop when running around getting that blood pressure up. Keep correcting it and you may not have to have the surgery. I have no idea why the surgery would cost more for a heavier pup...except possible the need for $2.39 more anesthesia.

He's a cute one!

Just seeing the post. Mama thinking what I’m thinking. Pressing head against wall is to relieve head pain, likely a tumor based on past experiences. Dogs will also walk in circles. I hope he doesn’t start doing either and continues to respond favorably to the meds.

My wife and I have been rescuing Bulldogs for 25+ years. Bulldog rescue brought us together. It's been quite a ride and we've seen it all over the years. I regret that we've dialed the rescue way back since COVID...as we've gotten...OLDER, and less able to meet the physical demands of 50-60...

We get more surrenders this time of year(30 days leading up to Christmas) than any other time. Next would be late spring and early summer(leading up to family vacation time). It really is sad that people dump their old/older pet to make room for the new puppy. And the lies that owners(not...

Helene has offered good advice. Keep in mind that the most common reason for loose stool in puppies is overfeeding. If the loose stool continues and worms have been eliminated as a cause, try dialing back the food 25%. You should see a difference in the stool within 2 days.

I wish I had an answer, but I've never experienced this. I would seek the help of a canine internist.

I would be leaning to an X-ray/Ultrasound/CT of his belly looking for a mass that might be the root cause of the(for the time being) temporary blockages. It might also be causing/contributing to the urinary issue. Considering the blockages, I'd be feeding the canned equivalent of his regular...

Never heard of any relationship. I would think it’s coincidental.
