breathing

A few members have asked me what kind of essential oils they can use on their bullies for certain issues. I figured, why not start a thread on Essential Oils. Basically oils are NOT a replacement for serious issues but more on prevention, soothing, helping them out to be more relax and even...

Hello, We are in desperate need of help/advice on our precious little bulldog puppy who will be 4 months old tomorrow. We received him at 8 wks old and that evening we noticed his breathing was pretty fast, we took a video to show the vet the following day, for his 1st visit and well puppy check...

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...

She had her soft palate and nares done Wednesday. Since she had a small cough and regurgitated once instead of her coming home Thursday they kept her until yesterday. They took an X-ray and didn't see pneumonia and scheduled a recheck for Monday. We brought her home yesterday armed with many...

Greetings EBNers. I would like to announce that today is my Jewel's birthday. She is now 3 years old. Jewel is Daddy's little girl. When she fluffs (Viking word for girl fart...just ask Vikinggirl )there is no smell. She know how to destroy most toys within 30 minutes (i.e. Nylabones and...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone else has had issues with bad reactions to any of the heart-worm monthly preventatives? Per their instructions of their heart-worm protocol, I recently gave my newly adopted SPCA stage-2 heart-worm positive bulldog named Winnie a Tri-heart (Ivermectin) and 2 hours...

Well as soon as I posted good things in her other thread, she had a scary event last night. We feed her three times a day since she's still young and after her lunch she began acting weird. She started to have some labored breathing and when I took her out she threw up some, not all, of her...

Well I can't take my little boy's breathing, coughing, gagging, spitting up, and what sounds like gasping for air when he sleeps anymore. Yesterday during Jewels visit to the vet, I asked and were given a consult to see the vet that did Jewel's surgery almost 2 years ago now to have Bentley's...

Woke up and Fezzik is itching and covered with bumps. The vet isn't open yet so I would love advice. I gave him 1 25mg of Benadryl this morning. The bumps are not red that I can see and are on his back and belly but not the face. His breathing is ok and his face does not appear swollen.

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...

Hey,guys! I just want to share our recently experience with Big so other users can see this post for future references. A week ago, Big had nose discharge for the first time. Next day, he was supposed to be neutered. I trust his vet a lot and during the appointment, she said it was OK to neuter...

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...

So, Frith woke up with coughing, hacking, frothy mucus again (Friday). She had finished the antibiotics, but the vet said to watch for signs of the aspiration pneumonia coming back (side effect of megaE), since this is the second bout, and was more wide spread. Sure enough it came back, and I...

Wow what can I say but that the power of love in a Senior rescue is incredible. I was given the gift of having an amazing 3 years with Sally. Our precious Angel grew her wings yesterday at 5:50 p.m. and passed in my arms to Rainbow Bridge. The past 48 hours hours she took a downward turn...

Sorry guys this may be a long post but i'm stumped on how to proceed with Brutus. As most of you know Brutus is a wild guy. He's stubborn, free-sprited and pretty much brutus does what brutus wants with in boundaries we have gave him. We are kinda at a tipping point, well Brian my husband is...

So My girl Billie, really doesn't like going in the car or truck. In June we are going on a 2 week holiday, and she is coming with us. So I really need her to be okay with traveling. I don't want to use her crate in the car, as that's her bed. I have used her blanket and chew toys. We only go on...

Hi guys, so we met with a different vet for a second opinion regarding beefs breathing and like i could've guessed he highly suggests the elongated soft palate surgery, nares widening, and (if necessary when he gets in there) removing saccules. I also would like him neutered if he needs all this...

Yesterday on Friday Boka was having problems breathing and we took her immediately to the ER. After numerous ultra sounds and x Rays, it revealed Boka had cancer in her heart. The vet said there is no cure she will survive, so we had to euthanize her. I am devastated !! My phone is getting all...

Hello all! Bob is now 16 months old and just had his palate trimmed as his nares were fine. Surgery went great and I brought him home yesterday afternoon. He's high as a kite on doggy morphine (lucky him!) and thankfully recovering just fine. They required him to sleep there in case of...

10 1/2 yo Bully, usual allergy problems. She does the reverse sneezing , every now and then, where she's like trying to snort and clear her nose. But has never had it happen like this. It's like there's a blockage or something, but can't think of how / what / when it would have happened. THE...

My bulldog just started coughing like he does from time to time, but this time it was a wheezing sound and then the hacking cough sound. Not brought on by anything--wasn't eating, drinking, exercising--just sitting and then got up to go outside. No vomit. Breathing normally in between the...

Just out of curiosity, how much does your bully weigh? Brynnlee was 82lbs when I got her :ohmy: I put a stop to that real quick as her breathing was bad, she couldn't go for a walk very far at all let alone play for any period of time. Plus, I was worried about all the extra weight on her...

:(So, just for a quick background - Brynnlee is allergic to potatoes and cheese, we learned that one the hard way as I was not told about any allergies when I got her. Today I left her home, as it was way to hot and humid here in Wisconsin to take her with me, with my mom and step dad - she was...

Hey guys, turning to the forums for help b/c no vet in my area can seem to figure out whats wrong with my Whiskey. This is really more for Vets as i feel this is a very uncommon issue. I'll try to keep this as short as possible but include all the relevant facts. In a nutshell, my bulldog can...

She has been to the vet a few times over the last few months. A few months ago she had a large swollen mass by her upper elbow that swelled to golf ball sized. We took her in, got the Xrays and the vet said it looked like bone disease but the Sr. Vet called back to say it was some inflamation...

Anyone have this done on their dogs? Our 8 month old female sounds like she has a terrible time breathing and I would like look into this type of surgery. Anyone from PHX have it and have a vet they would recommend for this?

Hey everyone, so i when in to the vet today in Riverside who is a specialist in bulldogs, he recommended an x-ray and once it was done cookie has about 6-7 babies inside her and she has run out of room and her full stomach is pushing her lungs forward and that's why she been having some...
