Once I figure out how this forum works, I'll post some of my babies and our girl Stella who passed away 2 years ago. She was a very sick bully who had a hypo plastic trachea and multiple bouts with pneumonia. That is what ultimately took her life at the young age of 7. But she lived a full and...
Also - when researching this issue I found helpful info here - leaving for anyone else who may go through this. https://www.facebook.com/notes/georgia-english-bulldog-rescue/head-tremorhead-bobhead-shake/822804087745605
Phew - thanks SO much for weighing in. PS your Banks was a real beauty, as was Nitschke. I guess Fanny will have to get used to getting treats and being spoiled :) One last followup question, any recommendations on amounts for things like Tums (calcium), Yogurt (sugar / calcium) and Vitamin B? I...
Here's a video of her with the tremors almost gone. Apologies for the audio - we were on a conference call so just mute it. https://youtu.be/mZH2Os8E8Oc

Here's a link to a video. We didn't intervene for this video as we wanted to see if it would resolve without the treat, toy, etc. This one lasted about 4.5 minutes, and did resolve. She had about 2 more before having them taper off and letting her get to sleep. https://youtu.be/ojc5-Y85ToA
Our 15 month old bully Fanny just started having tremors last night - had about 5 episodes with diminishing intensity before making it back to sleep. Playing and treats got her to snap out of it temporarily, with the toys working best to keep that particular episode from continuing. Had another...
Update - so far so good on her eyes - no more issues except lots of watering and stained folds. Doing our best with desitin and lots of frequent cleanings. Her spay surgery is coming up in a week, and once that is behind us - we will continue to work on skin issues and consider if she will need...
Hi everyone - thanks for your updates. Well for now, the eye doc sees no more ulcers - we think the last one may have been caused by a wrestling session with our other dog vs. more hairs - a relief, kind of. So we are back to waiting and watching for now, and getting her through her spay...
Hi all - wanted to post an update as we've had a long road with Fanny and her eyes. She actually had to go back to vet a few times following the surgery to have dead lashes pulled out that were bothering her eyes, but then they got really bad again and she needed another round of surgery. It was...
So Fanny saw the opthamologist last week and had surgery - cryosurgery to remove the offending lashes, and small incisions to remove two mutant hairs who were growing backwards - through her lid and into her eye. This had caused a corneal ulcer, and was very painful for her. The surgery went...
Just an update -we are waiting to see eye expert - couldn't get an appointment till this Friday. In the mean time, Fanny has gotten a few bald spots on her legs and now we are wondering if this all might be related to allergies or mange? Anyone have any experience with allergy or mange causing...
Hello everyone! I'm new here but have visited the site many times over the years when we've had bulldog questions, and I'm always appreciative of all the great feedback this community provides. So I'm hoping some of you may have some thoughts about our 5 month old Fanny's eye.
It began to get...
