Hi All!
My 4 year old EB Winston (we call him Winnie) had his BOAS surgery on Thursday of this week (11/9). First off, can I just say how thankful I am to come across this forum?! I spent the entire week leading up surgery reading these threads about what to expect, and it greatly helped ease...
My 8 year old recently recovered from a mild bout of pneumonia (treated with Clavamox for 3 weeks).
Starting last night I noticed she was yawning more than usual. This has continued into today. While many of these were full yawns, there has also been a lot of āhalfā yawns where she starts to...
Hey Everyone,
I wish I discovered this forum sooner - it would have come in handy quite a few times over the years. I have an English Bulldog, named Benzo, who just turned 9 years old. He's in generally good health, especially for his age, but started doing something in his sleep yesterday...
Does anyone have any clue what is happening here? She did this several times throughout the night. Would be in a dead sleep and wake up doing this. Itās so short and fast it was hard to video and I donāt know how to even explain it to the vet. And Iām not trying to go to an emergency vet and get...
We are new to this site and looking to some advice, Lola is 9 years old and she just went under surgery ( total ear ablation) due to scarring and chronic ear infections. She came home yesterday and immediately noticed that her breathing was very congested and with a lot of snot from her right...
Hello hope everyone is having a great day. I have had a few people tell me not to put a collar on our new EBP wait until she is bigger and just use a good harness. SO basically not use a collar at all due to issues with their breathing. Can someone let me know the thoughts on this?
Hi everyone,
We just brought home eight-week-old baby Chloe on Sunday afternoon. All has been well, until yesterday evening when we noticed her cough a little. She has been otherwise totally puppy-like - eating, drinking (a lot! is that normal?), playing, sleeping, peeing etc... Today she is...
Hello! I have joined your forum because I am desperate for information. I need to locate a veterinary surgeon that is skilled at nare and soft palette surgery. I actually own a French Bulldog and she is having a lot of trouble breathing in air through her nose, she also gags and throws up food...
Hi everyone, we have just recently changed Dudley to raw food to hopefully help with what the vet thinks is probably arthritis in Dudleys hips.
We first started him on a āhome cooked 100% fishā diet which he was on for three weeks but his energy level was at an all time low to the point of...
I have a bully female that shows to have breathing issues. Always super phlegmy and junky
Had xrays done early she showed a 2mm trachea at 8 weeks old
Thought she had pneumonia treated but here we are 4 months later with this junky phlegmy Bulldog
Any thoughts on allergies or possible soft...
Hi all. I recently reserved an English bulldog puppy. He was born 4 days premature by C-Section and has 7 other littermates. His mother is a red and white, kc registered family pet and his father is a kc registered red and white stud dog who participates in shows. My puppy opened his eyes around...
Hi everyone,
I am a first time EB owner and noticed that our 8-week old puppy, Brisket, sounds congested when he sleeps. It doesn't matter the position he is in when he is sleeping, he always sounds that way. We got him about a week ago and had already be dewormed and recieved his first round...
Hi everyone!
I'm new to this community, and just adopted my family's first English Bulldog puppy!
He's only 8 weeks old, and he was the runt of the litter, but he is adorable. We fell in love with him instantly.
My husband has always wanted one, and it took me some time, but I saved up the...
Meet Sumo! Now 4.5 months and 7/8 English bulldog and 1/8 beagle (to help with some breathing problems).
I'm a first time puppy owner and he's the light of my life. In the 2 months I've had him, we are working hard on training. He knows sit, down, touch, spin, and come. Most of the time...
I started giving my EBD NuVet powder. And now I could hear phlegm in his breathing, hes trying to blow his nose a lot, there is clear discharge from his nose, and he threw up undigested dog food because he was probably gagging from the mucus or from
the clear discharge. I started giving my dog...
Long story short, my bulldogs have put on a lot of weight, and last week or so i could finally walk them, with permission, as we live in a complex with different houses, and i cannot take them on long walks, as people are supposed to stay at home, or will get fined or thrown in jail. What i do...
Since Porkchop's tongue can't reach his entire nose to "exfolliate", I put coconut oil on it at least 5 days a week and then he'll rub it on the carpet (or wherever) and little nubs will come off. However, lately that isn't working well. I attached a photo here. (It's the best shot I could get...
Hi all
Iām new to owning a bulldog. I brought a Lilac tri coloured boy today. Iām worried though heās panting a lot when dropping to sleep breathing quite fast and his body is stretched. I can hear him
Breathing when walking around the house or garden and sitting still etc but not raspy just...
I have a 7 year old male bulldog, Woody. Over the course of the last year, he's shown some odd behavior. It used to be once every few months. And since the beginning of this year, it's at least once (if not more) a week. He'll start walking really slow, breathing a bit strongly through his nose...
Porkchop, age 9 yrs, has gum covering most of his teeth now. I add water to his regular food so thatās not a problem. But he canāt manage the little biscuits anymore. Any recommendations on safe soft chew treats? I read a long time ago that some are not safe but I canāt find the list.
BTW, my...
I have a 9 1/2 year old bully. She is a snorer and always has been. She has gained a little weight and I am working on trimming her down. (Sheās slowed down and need to adjust food). Something she stops snoring and almost seems to stop breathing for a few moments. My understanding is weight...
Merry Christmas Yāall! Hope everyone is doing well. Millie got her DHLPP vaccine Thursday. Starting late Friday and more into Saturday she has become very rattling in her breathing with a bunch of reverse sneezing. Iām wondering if this is a reaction to the vaccine or if she has a cold or...
Hi everyone! We just purchased our very first bully, she is 11 weeks old, adorable and hysterical.
Can be a bit of a devil at times though too. Lots of biting, chasing feet, etc. She got me really good today, blood and everything. I thought she was climbing up in my lap for a cuddle but she took...
My English Bulldog Reggie developed a dent in her head near her ear on her left side. All of a sudden it was just there. I brought her to the vet yesterday and they want to do X rays with Anesthesia. She is going to be 10 in November. I am concerned with her age and the Anesthesia. Has...
Our vet has referred us to a specialist to have Walter's sinuses looked at. She recommended having the sinus surgery done as soon as possible to prevent it from causing any health issues down the road. While this makes perfect sense to me, I'm still concerned about his age and the amount of...

It's a bit long, but very interesting for anyone who is interested in the breathing issues bulldogs may have. I also like the lecturers attitude towards the disease and her positivity...
I've decided that I'm going to try to document Ollie's experience with TPLO (tibial-plateau leveling osteotomy) surgery. I'm pretty much having to learn everything on my own. Maybe some time down the road someone might find this useful. If it needs to be moved, feel free Moderator/s.

Hello! This last weekend we added a new member to our family. Walter is not my first or only dog, but he is the first English Bulldog I've ever owned. The breeder selling him said that the puppies were 8 weeks old, and as I fell in love with this guy immediately. I was not looking for...

We always knew that NSAIDs can have the horri-bull side effect of stomach bleeding (and other bad ones!) , plus, we know that black stools mean "old blood". Anyway, we weren't home when it happend, but Thursday at 5:00, DH came home to find Sophie sleeping peacefully and in NO distress, but...
when it comes to smarts, he's definitely got a few kinks in his slinky.
Last Friday AM he starts showing signs of lethargy...slow-rolling it through breakfast. He eventually eats it all but there wasn't that usual rush. A few hours later he pukes a good amount of it up...followed by labored...
I just noticed a swollen area in Brutusās mouth. Itās under his tongue and looks like a fluid filled sac. Itās really hard to look at or get a picture, Iāll try to get one. Is this an emergency? Can I just make him an appointment in a day or two? Just watch it? Heās 4 months old and hasnāt had...
Just an update on looking for a vet for soft palate surgery for my little man Vader. He was starting to get worse and I decided to have the surgery here in Memphis, rather than transport him to Dallas, to his regular vet. Memphis Veterinary Specialist ER, DVM DACVS Chase Atwood did the surgery...
Hi, I moved away from my regular vet in Dallas to Memphis, TN - Top of MS area.
Vader had a bad visit yesterday at the local vet for breathing issues and I had to take him to an ER that was around the corner per vet recommendation as he was turning blue from the lack of O2. The local vet is good...
Bella constantly likes eating grass. She does it all the time. Last weekend we caught her chewing on a long grass in the yard and the next morning at 1am she puked up a rather large amount of it when we were sleeping. For the following 15 minutes or so she kept hacking almost like dry-heaving...
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE :firecracker:
Im back and forth between LA NY and Houston. Im tired of boarding my Dog or leaving her with family members who dont even have dogs themselves(They all love her nonetheless).... I spoke to southwest and did my research. I can board with her in the cabin...
It's been 2 days and it still feels surreal. I have never experienced such shock and pain in my life.
Gus was only 7 and had only just started getting senior side effects. He started getting seizures last year, but I was able to help him and he hadn't had once in 9 months. Friday morning he...
Hey guys wondered if I could pick peoples brains about elongated palate.
So Ronnie had an endoscopy done about a month ago and was told he does have this and it's thickened by around 1c m. Now as you know he's not been keeping to great and continues to inhale food and has had another episode...
My EB has been up panting heavily for 2 nights. I have no idea what's going on, but I don't like the sound of this at all. I do give him Rimadyl for pain, so perhaps he has a bad infection going on. I don't know. His heavy breathing is troubling and I may have to call the VET.
