elongated

Am I being too judgmental? I don't think I like my vet. I have a 14 week old puppy that makes up normal hunking sounds when she breaths. The more excited she is more often she does it. My vet diagnosed her with elongated soft palate. From what I know that can not be a thing that can get...

Hi there, my 8 year old "healthy" bully has been gagging, flem and throwing up as of late. Will be checking with a vet, even though not too trusting of any vets. Has anyone else had the Brachycephalic Airway Syndrome Surgery or Elongated Palate Surgeries and have they been a success? or any...

Hey Everyone My husband and I are just finalizing adopting a one year bulldog after the lady who originally purchased him decided she had no time for him. We are bringing him home this weekend and want to best prepare for him. We have an appointment next week with our vet to confirm he's...

Jackson had his vet check yesterday and the "rattle/congestion" we are hearing is from his elongated palate. Vet said it was "quite long" and he will bear watching. He said surgery would onky be done if necessary and when he is older. Should the breeder have mentioned this possibility when I...

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...

Hi everyone this is my first post on this site ... I have a 5and half month old bulldog puppy after having him for around 2 weeks he developed a cough which initially I thought was kennel cough I took him to my local vet and she prescribed antibiotics and anti inflamatories and sent him home 2...

Vienna is ready to find her furever family! She is a 3yr old English Bulldog that is just sweet as can be. She loves both adults and small children but does show some protective traits if a child is being held so the foster family is working on that right now. The resident cat doesn't phase her...

My name is Mark and I'm from Santa Rosa California. Me and my 18 month old Bulldog Bentley live on a ranch. We're both happy here. Bentley started coughing right away when I first got him home and when I took him to the Vet for his first checkup I was told he had an elongated soft Pallet which...

Think it is getting time for pebbles to have entropion surgery. I'll take her back to the vet next week but he has already told me it is coming. This is Brittmore vet which is listed a Bulldog vet & there are usually 2-6 bulldogs in the waiting room when I go. My question: Vet stated that...

Just a general question: Do dogs with stenotic nares always also have elongated soft palates? Bug has both and we're wondering for the future if we decide to get another EB. Many of the photos of the puppies I have seen advertised through the AKC website look to have stenotic nares (in my...

Tucker continues on his medication regimen, and after the first week, he was no longer fooled by me mixing his pills in with his food. There is one pill in particular that is an elongated gel capsule that indicates I must use gloves when handling. When I open the blister pack, it has a terrible...

This is Bug She is on her second round of antibiotics for pneumonia (first diagnosis 2/27/18 - second 3/20/18) and yesterday morning and this morning she seems really phlegmy. However, she is very active, has a great appetite and her gums have good color - so my question: Is it normal during...

Hi everyone, new to this site and I have 2 awesome English bulldogs. One is as healthy as can be and the other has had some health issues. The one has had the soft palate and mares surgery done back in the summer and we were hoping I.T would help with her breathing problems. Unfortunately she...

Hey guys! I've been MIA for a while...work, life...and Sgt! This is going to be a long one... So, my poor Sergeant had surgery on Thursday. A few months ago, we were out for a walk and his breathing really started to concern us. We essentially carried him home and took him to the vet the next...

Hello to all. I'm new here and kind of looking for some answers and some support from those who have experience. My male recently underwent corrective surgery for his elongated soft-palate, closed nares, and removal of little 'sack like things' in the airway. He was suffering from some...

Hi all, Just in case anyone here hasn't read my post in the members only section, here is an overview... Reggie is now 9 months old, and was neutered on Thursday. Even though both testicles were retained we had planned to wait a little longer but his male behaviours were getting ridiculous...

Hey everyone. Whopper goes for his elongated palate surgery today. I pick him up tomorrow. I hope it goes OK. Any advice to help him with healing and recovery?

Ms. Willow will be having her cherry eye surgery in the morning as well as nares and checking for elongated pallet... I could use some prayers, although I have every confidence in my vet. She needs to be spayed, but this is a relatively light surgery and I honestly want to see how she handles...

I've been sick all week, so this weekend I was trying to get the pups back on a schedule of the daily walk since it's been so nice outside. I noticed that Wally was walking funny... sure enough an interdigital cyst is going on. I tried to put some meds on it, and take a good look and he wasn't...

Hi Everyone! I am a newbie to owning an English Bulldog and to this site. Some history: my daughter asked for a Kingston Cocker Spaniel, her dad brought her an English Bulldog :no: At first we weren't really sure if we were happy, but oh how he has grown on us!!! :D Meatball is his name, but we...

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...

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...

My floor is always wet from my two Bullies drinking water. They literally dip their chins into the bowl of water, then use that Bulldog tongue to splash water over the edge of the bowl and onto the floor. The construction of their short noses and elongated bottom jaws makes them naturally messy...

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...

Hi All! I'm brand new to this forum and was hoping I could get some advice from people that have been through this experience! I have an 11 month old, 50lb English bulldog named Beef. I was told by a vet that he probabily has an elongated soft palate and is pushing us to go through with the...

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...

Hello, Everyone! I never really thought to join a bulldog forum. I have owned my little (Eh who am I kidding?) Bulldog for almost 4 years. Currently we live in Japan as my husband is Military, but we actually fly to America THIS MONTH to start our lives. So a little history - GusGus is a 4...

Walter's second round of eye surgery is scheduled for tomorrow… Ray is home, so we decided to go ahead and get it over with. It's important to do this a second time to remove any lashes that have grown back, and the vet saw a couple at his last re-check. While he is under she will also check...

Hello Everyone, Firstly thank you so much for taking time to read this, i hope you can help because i feel like i am going insane. I have a gorgeous 18 month old Australian Bulldog - Called Diego. In his short life so far he has had numerous surgeries to remove: - elongated soft pellet and...

Just a little back ground first. My Bentley in the middle of the night only will start licking and then will start to vomit. He sometime will have lots of plehem and sometimes nothing I will stick my hand in his mouth and there will be lots of plehem on my hand. After a trying to vomit he will...

Hello, I have an 8 month amazing bulldog... He was recently diagnosed with elongated soft palate.. Which has caused him aspiration pneumonia. He has been on chloramphenicol for about 3 weeks now. However, hes not eating anything at all, he vomits anything he eat, he's lost 5 pounds. He does...

My Bentley is almost 6 months (Feb 25th) and 2 times this week (one being last night) he has woken up in the middle of the night and I hear him trying to vomit. After he has finally vomited it's just white foam. Last night had me a little more concerned. He keep trying to vomit and then feel...

Please post your experience with this surgery. Has it helped? Caused more problems? Hasn't changed anything? I'll start with mine; I have two bulldogs. Blue had his palate, saccules and tonsils removed when he was 9 months old. It was done at the same time his Cherry Eye surgery was done. At...

I have a beautiful female bulldog puppy who is currently 6.5 months old but since about 3 months she's had random mornings where she wakes up with labored breathing and she has puked up white phlegm (very foamy). Most days she's a very active girl. I have several bulldogs and she's the life of...
