heat

This was just posted on my local bulldog group FB page here in Houston so I am posting it here as a warning to us all. So very sad. Everyone, please be careful this summer, it will be very hot. A week ago, my husband and I went out for a walk with our English Bulldog. It was about 8 PM and it...

Hello! Just joined- 1st post. My 7 mo old OEB is experiencing her 1st heat. Her vulva is very swollen. Is that normal? I also have a 3 yr old male (intact) that believe Lizzy needs help keeping it clean. I’m guessing his (help) may be contributing to the swelling. I’m scheduling an appointment...

Hi All!! I had my son's 2 bulldogs with me last week. Ruger and Jackson are littermates. Jackson was "the runt" and was much smaller than Ruger at 8 weeks. NOT ANY MORE!!! Ruger is muscular but thin. He eats Fromm's 4 Star - 1 1/2 cups twice a day. Occasional treats but I know they give him...

Herschel has bitten my wife and I both in the past 3 weeks. Her incident was pretty bad and I have grown concerned over what to do with Herschel and his increasingly aggressive behavior.. Background: Herschel is 8 Herschel has had entropian surgery and his eyes are a constant battle even 6...

I have a 4-year-old English bulldog who in the last 3 weeks has made two trips to the emergency room. The vet says that he needs the upper airway surgery which I have scheduled for this Wednesday. In the meantime I'm trying to figure out other than keeping him out of the heat what kind of room...

Jojo was diagnosed with mild vaginitis today. Earlier before calling/going to the vet, after she peed, I saw a really long light green strip of mucus hanging from her girl bits. Jo went into heat early and was spayed sometime after 5 months. She is 8 months now. When I called the vet, she asked...

Good morning! Jackson will be 1 in 2 weeks! He is social, loveable, but in bulldog terms, very stubborn! I can usually redirect him in controlled situations, but lately we have VERY BAD behavior and I am at a loss for how to correct. Hoping all you great bulldog gurus can help! We spend alot of...

Our female English bulldog is 9m old. Unfortunately due to covid we were not able to get her fixed. She has been rescheduled for the end of the month. She seems to be starting her first heat. Her vulva is swollen, she’s acting out of sorts. We don’t see any real blood yet, but the SMELL...

My puppy is going to be 1 at the end of August, so far he had no problems other then one cherry eye, but now I noticed he started having scans on his face, I tried picking it and dead skin just falls off with the heat leaving an open sore, I think it started happening after I gave him a bath...

Hey there We just adopted an English Bulldog, named Stitch. He's about one year old and previously was kept outside often (and in high heat too) Something we were told by the shelter group we went thru was he is obsessed with metal bowels. He has this large metal bowl which he loves to toss...

I do like Dana Scott, dog naturally magazine. But I will have to admit, there are sometimes I personally don’t always agree with her. Like essential oils. But.....That being said, “most” of her articles are bang on. This coconut oil article, IMO being on the healthy food industry side, there’s...

I Adopted a three-year-old English bulldog she is not fixed and the same week we adopted her she started her heat we put her on a grain free food and she developed a rash and so we switched her back to the food the other family was feeding her which was Pedegree and she still has the rash I am...

Basically I had 3 bulldog bitches which 1 had a litter which died due to a pup getting stuck in her canal and shes never came back into heat again a year and a half later but on top of that my other 2 bitches which haven't had any bad pregnancy also are not coming into heat for over over year I...

I hope I'm posting in the correct section. I have a bitch that bled quite a bit during her first two heats. Her last heat was due in August. Her vulva swelled and stayed swollen for 14 days, but she never bled and never showed interest in letting my male try to mount her, so I skipped out on...

SO I have finally decided to switch to raw food, and my local store carries Primal which I thought would be a good start because I can purchase it locally. The idea of mailing raw food in this heat sounds like a disaster waiting to happen, although if anyone wants to chime in about raw food...

A buddy of mine just loves our boys. He used to come and see me but now it’s the dogs. He said I work with a guy that bought a bulldog puppy. He said he loves taking his puppy on long walks. I said really? Call him I want to talk to him. He said why do you want to talk to him. I said he is a...

Ronnie has has sore bottom today. Hes been going for the toilet fine but hasn't been himself been pacing around and keeps sitting and standing up. I've just wiped him after the toilet and have felt quite a hard lump on his anus hes been sleeping quite a lot last few days but had put this down...

SO I'm in the middle of a transition faze for the pups... going from Fromm's to Acana (and of COURSE that article came out!!!) Anyhoo... my long term plan is to switch them to raw/freeze dried raw when we get home from vacation, I don't want to put my dog sitter thru all the hassle. My pups...

Since i live in the Southern Hempishere, we are experiencing winter. Our pups sleep in our small living room, next to the kitchen, where the floors are all tiled. It is really the only area available for them. Needles to say it gets really cold. However our dogs sleep in plastic beds, and it's...

So we are about 16 days into Ms. Millie’s first heat. For the most part everything has been ok and she has been trying to figure things out (and so have I). The last few days she has been squatting several times (maybe 4 or 5) to pee. She did this once before as a puppy and in a few days she...
