anesthesia

Hi all - I know there is a bulldog vet listing online on a few sites, but I was curious how you might go about finding a surgeon that you trust to do surgeries on an english bulldog? Or is it really moreso about finding a pet hospital with a good reputation in general? I suppose the...

I feel like this is a bad case of deja vu. Sir Rumble Pig had his left ACL repaired via TPLO surgery a little over a year ago (May 22, 2014). We knew then that there was a 50% chance of him tearing the other one and needing surgery. Well we have unfortunately fallen in the bad 50% category...

Well Mr. Wally is doing great… BUT his eyelashes will have to be re-done a second time to make sure they don't grow back. She would like to give it at least a month, and I told her that I almost had a dang stroke the LAST time he went under. She assured me that he did absolutely fine under the...

I decided to go ahead and get Bella spayed. It's scheduled for this Thursday. I'm hearing so many different things about anesthesia and the things that can go wrong with short-nosed breeds. I'm really scared! I know my vet loves her, but I just want to make sure they know what to do for her...

Today Bella went back for her dental cleaning and tooth extractions. I adopted her two weeks ago and she had had an unrepaired broken jaw (car?) that had healed incorrectly. The vet called and said the trauma was greater than they previously thought and now she is being referred to a...

I took Walter in today because he's been blinking on/off all week, and I thought he might have an ulcer… he almost got a claw in his eye last night. Well the vet confirmed today that he has distachia… OF COURSE!!! Right now he only has 2 eyelashes in each eye that are internal. She knows my...

This may be the stress and nervousness talking, but I thought this forum was a place of support. I felt like if I was having an issue with my bulldog I could come here and get some comfort and advice. Now, we are facing the biggest issue we have had since getting George and nothing... I've never...

Whenever your baby(ies) go under either for some kind of surgery or c-section, do you know approximately how much anesthesia they're given? If you do it, what do you base the amount on? We finally heard from the breeder. Her thought was my second, as to why Chubbs has become different. When we...

I was wondering if anyone on the forum was from OKC ? I have a 16 week old sweet little girl who needs spade and Cherry eye surgery. I love her vet she has now, there are several other Bullies that I have seen at the clinic. However I am very nervous about the surgery. I meet with the vet...

Has anyone had success with cold laser therapy ? My Samson is almost 7 and has had allergies on an off his whole life(most of it has been manageable). However, last November, he started to get ear infections. In March, I had the vet flush his ear and suggested he may have allergies. I...

We've only had Wellie since September 20th, so not even four months yet but I've noticed something peculiar. Sometime in October, he was in a very deep sleep on the couch. I sat down and put my arm around him. He immediately woke up, ran across the couch like the devil was chasing him, and...

Hello. My male 2 yr/9 month old bulldog is going in for surgery on the 8th of Jan. My regular vet sold part of his business to a company called VCA so it is now called VCA and Simmons animal clinic. Many of his vets left his business and I was concerned as to who there would preform stenoic nare...
