    Distichia Surgery...Anyone Have Experience With This?

    Harper is 11 months and had the Distichia procedure last month. The vet had tried pulling the eyelashes and they came back, so he sent us to the eye specialist. Surgery was easy for him (besides an upset tummy from the meds) They didn't even give him a cone once he left that afternoon because...

    She will not listen to me!

    I'm home with Harper (11 months) all day and he is fine with me. He is a totally different dog when my husband is home though - he wants constant attention from him - if my husband is in his chair Harper is in his lap chewing on him - then he wants my husband to sit on the floor and play...

    Help! Urine odor!

    Buster had huge spot after he had been on IVs and was still pretty much out of it. It was a very strong odor and I was sure new carpet was the only answer. I finally poured straight vinegar over it and then spread baking soda and left it overnight. Vacuumed it up the next morning and haven't...

    Help Needed! distachiasis??

    Harper is nine months old and started having excessive tearing a few months ago. The regular vet pulled a few eyelashes and they came back - he tried again another time and they came back so he referred us to an eye specialist. He was diagnosed with the same thing but no cherry eye - just...

    Eye Lids Rolling In

    Harper's eyelashes are scratching his eyes and causing excessive tearing. He is having a "procedure" Thursday to correct it. Eye specialist said he will put him under and then freeze the area of the eyelid to get rid of those lashes. The regular vet has pulled them twice and they keep...

    Help Needed! Mixing Raw and Kibble?

    We stuck with what our breeder was feeding her dogs and the puppies. Harper gets a cup of Taste of the Wild Buffalo/Venison w/ yogurt or cottage cheese in the morning and raw mixed with broc/cauliflower/yellow sq/zuchinni/carrotts in the evening. He loves it. Her dogs were all beautiful and no...

    Demodectic Mange

    Harper had a few spots of puppy demodex. He finished the medicine a month ago and looks great now. No more problems with it. I hope it clears up soon. I know it worried me the entire time, but he is fine now.

    Trifexis replacing Sentinel

    My breeder recommended Trifexis, but I heard some questionable things about it and decided to go with Heartgard for now until I know more about it. We had used Sentinel for years.

    General Question Sqeeling Noise....???

    Harper does something once in a while that I call his elephant screech sounds. It is usually when he is excited and wants everyone's attention (and that sound will definitely get it!) It sounds awful lol.

    Help Needed! demodectic mange + more

    I thought I was doing everything right for Harper. Good diet, Nuvet vitamins, apple cider vinegar in his water - but he got a few red spots the last couple of days. Then we saw his brother last night at the bulldog club meeting and he was just diagnosed with demodex. So off we went to vet his...

    Time til wear out

    Harper is 4 1/2 months. He plays hard for a couple of hours then is ready for a nap. At about 8pm, he slows down, then goes into his crate which we have in our family room. If he wakes up before we go to bed, we take him out one more time, if not he sleeps until I get up at 6. He is serious...
