pocket

So got him and he is perfect! Only thing I didn't like is breeder smoked inside! Got him home gave him a batch we had dog oatmeal shampoo and conditioner.. hardest part is he's wandering around looking for mom dad and his 2 brothers and it's hartbreaking.:gloom::gloom:.. So for feeding him he...

Not sure what heading this comes under so I went for general. George was neutered 6 days ago and since then his behaviour has changed dramatically he seems to be super energetic and even more stubborn then ever also his biting when he doesn't get his way has become more aggressive. I don't...

George was neutered yesterday that all went very well thank goodness. I was worried about his tail pocket and had asked to have it checked. It turns out he has a very deep tail pocket with an extremely tight corkscrew tail up in it and it was infected :( The vet said he had difficulty getting it...

I switched Dukie from Royal canin at 8 weeks to natural balance LID sweet potato & fish formula. Everything seems good except he has a bit of an odor. A bit of gas when he sleeps on my lap, but not huge. He has no yeast issues & I keep his folds & tail pocket clean.. Just an all over slight...

I clean Maximus' tail pocket weekly with Malacetic wipes - I run my finger around the inside of the tail pocket and wipe it clean - it appears he is very uncomfortable when I clean the tail pocket. Is this normal ? He twists and turns and ultimately runs away from me. I know the wipes are quite...

Took my Dozer for a 2nd opinion on his tail pocket. This doctor said it definitely needs removed. He wanted me to take him to a specialist in Georgia. I don't have that kind of money, so I will figure out something in Florida. If you've had your dog's tail done in Florida and everything went...

I've been around bullies my entire life. I've owned two since being an adult, but have NEVER had to contemplate giving up a dog. I am an "until death do us part" kind of person. My dogs are my world. However, I lost my husband of 29 years about 11 months ago and am about to lose my house and...

Let me start this by saying, I've had bullies all my life and never had this kind of problem. My bully has a really tight tail and therefore, has a tail pocket. A few weeks ago, I noticed that when I clean his tail pocket there is blood. It is just progressively getting worse. Now, he is...

My bully tends to run and then sit down suddenly like his butt is hurting him. I know he has done it in the past when he had a tail pocket irritation or when he was constipated. But sometimes I can't determine the reason and just wonder if it is a bulldog thing. It doesn't seem like normal...

Blythe is a 4 yr. old female that weighs 50 lbs. Blythe joined rescue as an owner surrender. She will be going to the clinic for a check-up and to be spayed. Once that is complete, she will join her foster family and begin her search for the perfect forever home. 10/4/2015 Update: Blythe...

So, Charlotte had her checkup today and needed her rabies so no biggie butttt I've been noticing her tail pocket recently just never looks clean which is new for us, I increased the cleaning with malacectic wipes but it seems to hurt her after a few wipes even though it's not clean yet. Sighhhh...

My Bully, Maximus, stinks! Period. And it's coming from his Tail Pocket. I usually use a wipe to clean out the tail pocket, but even with that, he stinks! I'm also finding that when I insert my finger into his tail pocket to clean around the area, the wipe comes out with blood on it. Is there...

First of all i panic with a broken toe nail but i am getting a little better.. ok,, i will be brief if i can,. My rescue Rocky had the very bad tail pocket infection when we got him.. after rounds of medication the only solution was tail amputation.. we did this and all was great.. healed up...

9/1/15: Please Welcome Quincy! He was found as a stray and taken in by a kind family. They had him checked for a microchip but unfortunately he did not have one. They did not want to take him the shelter so they called us to help him. He is already neutered but is suffering from untreated...

Hi Everyone! My name is Ashley. I am a 24-year-old, single parent to the best bully I could ask for - Dozer! I joined EBN a while ago, but have only really stalked the forms. Whether all of you know it or not, you have been an amazing help in my transition to becoming a bully momma! I adopted...

Hello Everyone! My name is Ashley. I am hoping to get some advice from some well-seasoned bully owners regarding my Dozer's tail pocket. Dozer is 6 years old. I adopted him almost exactly (a little more than) one year ago. When I adopted him, he had a pretty bad ear infection and I believe an...

Hello everyone! Unfortunately I don't have anyone else in my life who has an English bulldog and I am looking for some advice. I took my 5 and a half month pup Murray to the vet because he was dragging on his rear an awful lot and I was concerned about it, it turns out he has a tail pocket...

Our bullie doesn't have a tail that sticks out but she obviously still has a tailbone and pocket. Our vet said her tail bone has grown in crooked (with a bend) and so in that bend is where she developed an infection due to moisture/yeast. We've started adding gold bond medicated powder to her...

I recently posted about my rocky's tear stains thinking it had gotten worse because of the antibiotics he was taking for his tail pocket infection.. but now his tail has been amputated and hes on no medicine but tear stains are still there.. but what i have noticed also is along with the tail...

7/16/15 - Please welcome Drew! Drew’s owners surrendered him to GEBR due to changes in their living situation and they were not able to provide the care that Drew was in need of. His previous family stated he is great with kids and other animals. Drew’s previous family received him when he was 3...
