pocket

Ran across this article. It's written by a doctor (vet?) and it states very clearly that this is a procedure that should be done on all english bulldogs if the owner wants to minimize the discomfort that comes along with being part of this breed. I had not heard before that this procedure is...

I'm a first time bulldog owner. I got peaches as a response to an ad on Kijiji... she was listed as "pocket bully" to mean that she's going to be a smaller bully. I must admit that I didn't ask that much questions because when I saw that cute little puppy face... I fell in love with her. I...

Well i have always said my gucci was my good girl because she never seems to have any issues like the others, such as allergies, infections, and any other problems.. but now shes decided she is going to be.. she gets hot spots at least twice a year.. i think its to much.. i put medicine on her...

Do your bulldogs stink? I feel bad, our guy gets a great bath ever 2-3 weeks depending on his skin, with DermaBens. He always smells good the first 2-3 days but then that "sour" smell comes back. His pocket is cleaned regularly as is his face. His bedding must be washed weekly (in a 2 hour cycle...

So this past Saturday 2am we end back up back in the ER, still fighting this Pneumonia, on call Vet takes Xrays, and shows us there is still the presence of infection, gives Ellie shots of antibiotics and a steroid, and gives us Doxycycline, and Tameril-P. and advised that once Ellie is better...

Any advice on tail amputation surgery would be greatly appreciated! I am so nervous! Otis will be 5 at the of the month. We have had numerous tail pocket infections that we can't get rid of! He started with some aggression issues (we think due to the pain) but started seeing a behaviorist. I am...

Good Morning All, Quick update on Ellie, she is home, and doing well. Trying to play toys like a crazy lady. Still has some residual Aspiration Pneumonia, which the Vet put her on 250Mg of Clavamox for two weeks, and for Eating to help move it past the Esophageal Pocket, she going to need to...

1/29/16: Please welcome Margot! Margot’s owners were no longer able to care for her so she has joined the crew at GEBR. She is up to date on her shots and already spayed but she has untreated dry eye, a severe double ear infection, she needs entropian surgery on both eyes and she may need her...

Hi. So I adopted a 10yo spayed bullie from my local shelter. She's pretty overweight so I'm working on that. Dry eye too but that's pretty easy. She does have a significant, tail pocket that needs cleaning but not is not smelly. She will not allow. Bloodwork shows a high wbc so giving...

I have attached the best photo I can of these 2 patches on Georges back they are about the size of a fingerprint I can't say they are bald but the hair is thinner where they are. The skin is sort of grey underneath from what I can see. He doesn't appear to be trying to scratch it but then again...

Helena (aka: Squishy Teddy Bear)'s Story... Helena is a sweet, 10-year-old lady that loves spending her days sleeping on comfy beds and asking for snuggles from her people. She’s a quiet old gal that is mellow until it’s time for food! Then she perks right up and bounces around until someone...

Please help me! I have a 4 1/2 year old bulldog, Otis. He has had issues with anal glands for years. We changed his food to Orijen with fiber one cereal to help thicken up his stools. We have seemed to get that under control. I had no idea that he had a deep tail pocket! My husband googled it...

We always have micro chip our pups before they go to their fur-ever home, and we put our info in the second contact list. We do this in the hopes they will never need them. I always wondered if they will actually work when need be. Well I got my answer Saturday morning. Bev my wife called me...

So I've been out of pocket the past couple of weeks but felt I should update everyone on Jupiter and how she is making our life interesting. Left for scout event last weekend and wife calls on Saturday to tell me Jupiter is very sick! (Blowing out from both ends) So pack up and get back to meet...

Hi everyone, I have a 6 year old female miniature English bulldog. I haven't had any health issues the first 5+ years but she had a tail pocket infection about 4 months ago that was treated with medicated pads and a cream. The past couple of weeks she seems very uncomfortable and has had trouble...

Hello All, Rex turned 4 in February. Around that same time, I took him to a new groomer. She claimed to express his anal glands externally. Shortly thereafter, Rex began spinning on his butt and rubbing up against furniture. I took him to our vet who stated it was very difficult, if not...

Well, all is well with my bullies except my Rocky is having a little problem with his ear again it only seems to be in one ear.. when we rescued him, some of you may remember, he had the bad tail pocket infection that we had to amputate, well along with that he had a bad ear infection that the...

Can't believe I'm posting another problem so soon 😞 George (I'm pretty sure) is in agony with his tail pocket I have put out an S.O.S. on Facebook for a good experienced bulldog vet in Ireland just waiting on a reply. But he is in very bad form barking at nothing and bouncing around on his butt...

I may be a bit premature with this post but I cleaned Georges Tail pocket today and he was ok ish with it. He fell asleep a few mins later and after around 5 mins he jumped up and started squealing and twisting around as if to chase his tail. It was a noise I had never heard him make before it...
