    Yeast Infections and a new vet

    Porkchop has been battling interdigital cysts since last Thanksgiving. Three rounds of antibiotics, daily epsom salt soaks, and other topical sprays but they came back immediately, sometimes bleeding and obviously painful as he licked his paws so often. Two weeks ago we were wandering a garden...

    The "STARE"

    Rosie can be fast asleep on the couch, then someone pulls out a kitchen table chair she springs up and is half an inch away from you looking up at you with the STARE... If you try to ignore her she grunts, touches your leg with her nose, then brings on the tears.... What do I do??? She has her...

    Thank you!

    I just want to say thank you to everyone on this board. I joined out of desperation for answers, and found much more than that. You guys have gotten me emotionally through 4 months of Frith's pneumonia. You have helped me ask the right questions--when I learned about the small tracheas here...

    Essential Oils

    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...

    Nose fold, eye surgery

    Our vet has brought up that Mr. Chubbs would be a candidate to have his nose fold removed. It is constantly dirty (yeast maybe?). Also that he could need surgery to remove some extra tissue in his eyelid. I'm hesitant about any type of surgery because he had aspiration pneumonia after his...

    Beware Xylitol......

    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...

    A fresh start for Gigi

    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...

    Could my Bulldog be Unhappy and Depressed . . . ?

    Hyperkeratosis of the Nose

    My Bully, Maximus, has Hyperkeratosis on all four paws and also his Nose. I do use 'Snout Soother' but find the effects don't last long, and large chunks of Maximus' nose actually fall off. His nose is forever cracked and dry, and brittle, very brittle. Has anyone else ever experienced this...

    Upper Respiratory Infection (Help please)

    Hi so I just got my bulldog puppy 2 days ago and she was fine, no signs of any problem. Then on day 2 she started doing this thing where she would like wheeze, I think it's coughing, and after like 10 to 15 wheezes gag and she would just do it once or twice and stop. Then the next day every 30...

    What's under your Bulldogs nose roll?

    Beefs nose roll is so hard to keep clean, because it's so huge! I feel like I clean it every day and the next morning it's gross again! In the past there's been this funky red colored stuff under there (went to the vet because it had an odor, they said it was yeast and gave me malecetic wipes)...

    Stupid Question?

    So Joey's nose rope appears bigger these days, I keep it clean, so I don't think its "swollen" My stupid question is will the nose rope become more prominent as they age? Does anyone have good face shots of their pups "then and now" so that I can see what is normal please? Thanks friends!!

    Dry nose: What should a healthy nose look like?

    Fezzik's nose is very dry and scaly on the top near his snout. I usually put coconut oil on it in the mornings. I am wondering if I should apply it more often or if he is reacting to the coconut oil. I have been using vaseline this week to try and see if there is a change. Could you post...

    Am I cleaning my bulldogs face and ears properly?

    I know there are a lot of posts on this, but I just wanted to make sure I am doing things correctly. I do not bath my bullies face or ears when I give him a bath. Should I be? I check his face once a day and wipe it clean of food and make sure I dry him after he drinks when I can. Every 1-3...
