This is so Sad, No Animal Should Ever Be Treated Like This :( I think our society needs a huge "Wake-up" call. As a shelter manager, I am going to share a little insight with you all...a view from the inside if you will. First off, all of you breeders/sellers should be made to work in the...

2/18/15: Please welcome Val! Val was recently sold by her breeder to another breeder and vet. But it was quickly discovered that she had some “leaky lady parts”. With the help of the breeder the owners surrendered her to GEBR for testing and treatment. She flew from Illinois to Georgia with...

8/6/15: Please welcome Georgette! Georgette’s owners dropped her off at the shelter because they no longer wanted to care for her. She is now safe with GEBR! She will be spending two weeks in shelter quarantine at our vet before moving into her foster home (with a few dogs and a 9 year old...

Your six-month-old puppy, Hoover, will eat anything that isn’t tied down. Like many dog owners, you know chocolate can be dangerous to your pooch. But you may not know that if Hoover sticks his nose in your handbag and eats a pack of sugarless chewing gum, the consequences could be deadly...

On Mother's Day? Really?! So last night Gigi had 2 accidents in her crate overnight, which is not normal for her. After we fed her this morning, I took her out to potty and she squatted maybe six times, highly unusual, and when she was done there was definitely some blood in her urine. This...

So Penny was a rescue; she is big but doesn't look like an OEB. The vets say nope she is just a big English bulldog. I don't think we noticed how big until we got Bristol and she didn't grow to the size we expected. The vets took blood test when we first had her evaluated for the soft palate...

Ok so now it's Raven's turn to scare the beejebus out of me. She had been battling a yeasty ear for a while and I decided to take her off of the Acana Grain Free Pork and put her on the limited ingredient Lamb version. Well the ear seemed to be doing much better but I have noticed for a while...

Walter's hip x-ray and neuter is scheduled for tomorrow morning… I took him to the groomer's today so he could get cleaned up beforehand, and Ms. Penni told me that he growled at her when she was washing his stomach. He has NEVER done that before :( Today he was SO crazy, barking at the TV...

Hello, I have a 1 year old English bulldog, he has been potty trained and crate trained since 3 or 4 months. He stays in his kennel with bedding for 8hrs while we work during the day, and sleeps with us in bed at night. We also walk him daily. Recently if we have to run an errand in the...

One toothy smile from Foxie, and you can’t help but fall in love. Estimated to be eight years old, this sweet bully is spayed and was surrendered to a shelter “due to allergies.” Foxie is a friend to humans of all ages. Just keep an eye on those adorable and protruding teeth. She does adore...

After a horrible visit to the ER last Saturday night, and many unsuccessful vet visits, I think with the new bulldog experienced vet we saw this Saturday, we might have some light at the end of that long, long tunnel. Our appointment was at 1pm on Saturday. We took all of the X-rays that she...

Hello! I'm new to this site and looking for help from other bulldog owners who may have experience with recurrent UTIs. Our female EBD started showing signs of her second UTI since September at the end of March. She was put on 14 days of antibiotic therapy. At the end of treatment our vet...

We've been to the vet with Boeboe now a couple of times since end of last year for vomiting. Each time we've been prescribed Antibiotic along with Ulsanic (it forms a protective layer over the stomach lining and helps against nausea). Boeboe is 6 years old, she's not on any regular medication...

I was reading an article on Bulldog Care which i posted and was very intrigued on the Head Shake section. I thought to post the Head Shake section on it's own. About: sugars, calcium, nursing and more. Head Shakes:* Rather like a fit, but affecting just the head, which will involuntary...

Came across a great page on Bulldog Care. Great all bully owners. General Bulldog Care* The Bulldog is a very unique breed, the symbol of all things British. However, owning a bulldog is not as*straight forward as you might think. He is a totally man made breed and needs human company...

Hi All!! Miss Ellie, is happy and acting like any normal 5 mo. old puppy should, however she keeps getting SOME "symptoms" of a UTI, this last time we barely noticed, as she only had ONE accident in the house, and at the time we were doing some and didn't notice she was her "spot" she doesn't...

A brief history on our wonderful bulldog Millie: In the almost 2 years she's been alive, she's had bad allergies, demodex, constant eye infections, surgery to remove a towel that she ate in her crate, ANOTHER surgery right after to remove part of her bowel that died from eating said towel, and...

So these past 24 hours have been the worst of my life. Beefs soft palate surgery, nares widening and neuter was Wednesday morning. We took beef home Thursday around 4pm. He was doing a lot of gaging/retching and threw up a few piles of white phlegm/foam. Everything seemed fine and we all went to...

This morning early started with Frank heavily dripping/spurting blood from his penis. It was over in about a minute or so but it sent me into utter panic mode. Our living room and kitchen looked like a crime scene. I got Frank into see the vet this afternoon and the vet took an xray and thought...

Mae Please welcome Senior Saint Mae to the Lone Star Bulldog Club Rescue family. Many thanks to our volunteer Mary who picked up Mae from a local shelter today. Mary says Mae has lost many of her teeth. Her eyes are cloudy and it appears she’s had several litters. She weighs only...

DOG & CAT POISON SYMPTOMS We love our pets and think of them as part of our family. We also hate to think of our pets getting sick, but as pet owners, we’re the first ones to recognize if something is wrong with our cat or dog. In the case of pet poisoning, you may not know what they got into...

UGH! My 2y4mo bulldog has these episodes of aggression towards my 2 other dogs. Not just a growling "that's my bone" kind of aggression either. I mean full on ATTACK. My frenchie can hold her own and is no worse for the wear, albeit flustered. My 13y old 17lb pug however, cannot. He is...

Went to brush Murphy this morning And noticed his neck had little patches of blood I guess. There are a few of them. All on the back of the neck. These are the best pictures I could get he wasn't having it. They aren't open and oozing or anything like that, just spots of blood. For a while...

Cystinuria (type 3) for bulldogs is a recessive condition in which stones made from the amino acid cystine form in the kindey, ureter, and bladder. The condition affects males, it is testosterone driven so neutering a male will prevent him from having symptoms. Females are carriers and do not...

Hello All, My dog Red is almost three years old. When I first got him he had no eye tear stains and I kept him on the same food that my breeder used. At about one year old he started with the tear stains and the chewing of the paws started a couple months later. I have tried many different...

Oh my problems are endless 😞 There seems to be a different issue everyday. I know I am most likely going to have to go to the vet with this one though. Yesterday on my walk with George as always he walks along the grass at the side of the road where possible I guess he likes it better than the...

Our vet quoted 2100 bucks for the surgery including $200 blood work (thyroid). This seems high based on the internet research I've done, although those numbers are not bulldog specific. They also want to keep Herschel over night which I'm sure jacks up the price. Does this sound right? Recs for...

By: Charles Eisenstein* The ruling institutions of this world are quite comfortable with a virus.*First with SARS, then H1N1, then ebola and now the Zika virus, mainstream media and official organizations have been quick to recognize and counter the threat with travel advisories, quarantines...

Charlie's Info... I am already neutered, purebred, a special needs pet, and up to date with shots. Charlie's Story... Charlie came to us a victim of being hit by a car. His owner loved him dearly but couldn't afford the advanced medical care (x-rays, MRI, Neuro specialist) and surgery that...

Our Fiona was fixed in January. Prior to getting fixed she has a severe case of fly biting right around/after her fist heat. The vet did some blood work and everything came back normal. He suggested that once we got her fixed it may work itself out. She's been perfect and back to normal for past...

Probably about 5 months ago, my dog was dripping blood while walking around. it wasn't in his pee. we took him to vet and after an ultrasound and urine analysis, the vet diagnosed it as a prolapsed urethra. the vet didn't tell us anything to help prevent it, even though we just spent 400...

Hi guys, my Obi is 21 weeks today. My partner and I took him out to the pet store and got him some toys, one had a couple pieces of plastic on it... after watching him play with it for about 20 minutes I noticed him acting funny and his toy had a couple of blood spots on it. I took away the...

I had a very emotional and upsetting thing happen to me on Tuesday Morning before I went to my Moms house. I got a phone call from a man who said he was a lawyer and that my daughter had been in a terrible car accident the night before. He told me she had gone to a football game with a friend...

Ok so I did some searching... Lots of good posts. I have tried several different foods and nothing worked. SO I decided to start cooking for her, she gets meat and veggies for her meal and loves it. She looks great, her poop is good and it seemed to be helping with her tear stains.. But within...

Let me start this by saying, I've had bullies all my life and never had this kind of problem. My bully has a really tight tail and therefore, has a tail pocket. A few weeks ago, I noticed that when I clean his tail pocket there is blood. It is just progressively getting worse. Now, he is...

Hi all, my 9 month old Frank has been diagnosed with paraphimosis by my vet. Around 3-4 times a week Frank will get over excited (Only happens when I am asleep or not home) and his penis will get stuck outside his sheath and become heavily swollen with the appearance of a light bulb. Today I...

We first noticed it yesterday, Wally had some blood near his rectum… after we got a better look we noticed that the blood was coming from a spot near his rectum so I'm assuming that it is his anal gland. I called my vet, and since she was off yesterday we decided to bring him in this morning...

So my little Boo-Boo-Finn started throwing up this morning. He was having reverse sneezing along with the vomiting. I thought he was done with vomiting after the first round since most of his breakfast came out but the little guy threw up a couple more times where it was frothy bile and I did...
