I have taken FOREVER to write this post because it was very painful to go through. Howver, I feel like others need to be aware of the potential problems that we experienced. This is going to be long, so bear with me... Around Christmas time, Koozer had his TPLO surgery to fix a torn ACL on...

Ok here goes my rant, I'm going to take a short story and make it long... Some of you will have already heard the beginning of this story so bare with me. When we got our boy pup last November I noticed something odd with his urine with in a day and had it tested thinking a possible UTI. It...

Lately I've noticed that when my husband is home and we sit on couch, Bennie comes to sit by me and he starts to stare at Boeboe, licking his mouth, drooling and the hair on his back is standing up like he's ready to attack her. Last week he even stared my husband out like that:( It sucks. It's...

Most of our bulldogs suffered from dry noses, we made sure they was always hydrated as got told this could be the problem, but they never got better, we then tried Johnsons baby oil gel, which you can get from local supermarkets and it has worked a treat, we put it on once a day before bed and...

So, this is my first male dog and he has come to the age of humping. For the sake of saving me from an internet search (dog humping) LMAO Does anybody have advice on how we can make this less of a problem? We are going to breed the dog so getting it snipped is not an option. Any thoughts? Thanks...

Hi all! I've been reading the forums extensively over the past several months to prepare for bringing our new bulldog pup home. We got Calvin at 7 weeks old and he was the adorable runt of the litter. He has what sounds like a pretty typical bully personality--complete with being stubborn and...

HI, I have a soon to be 5 yr old english bulldog. Yesterday he had surgery to remove bladder stones and is doing great. Our vet recommended us to put him on a prescription diet food to help him not go thru this again. He is currently on a grain free food and has done great. Only problem is...

Hi, I took George to the vets as I noticed slight hazing in both eyes. The vet said that his eyelids were rolled and causing corneal abrasions. I mentioned in passing that his eye lids drooped down and that I didn't expect that. She agreed looked unsure and checked again. She said that there...

Hello bulldog community! Here is a quick update: Opie is 11 months old. Since he was about 6 months old we noticed his hips would pop everytime he took a step. We couldn't hear them, but we could feel them. We have had him on glucosamine since. We took him to the vet at 8 months and had the...

I have a 4 year old female bully I have had for about a year. Prior to me owning her she was a breeding dog. When I got her she was fine but had some potty issues so I got a crate for her but never really used it. Now, especially the last few months, if I move the crate she runs to wherever...

As most know we've been blessed with a little girl who has taken up most of the attention in our home. The only real problem we're going through is Buster has suddenly starting coughing in the middle of the night always around 3 or 4 a.m. He's starts to cough like 2 or 3 times and then spits up...

So our bulldog is now 8 months old. Ever since we brought him home, when we fed him he would scarf his food down in minutes. However, when he turned 7 months old he started eating really slowly to the point where it's so drastic that it's concerning. We feed him breakfast at 7am and he typically...

So a week ago Achilles was barking around 4am right before I get up for work. He kept crying and barking and of course I got up to check on him. Well he was letting me know that he wanted to do his business, as soon as I let him out to our backyard he did his thing (just poo). I WAS SOOOOO...

Ok so this is my first time owning an EB, I've had him since he was a little over 6 weeks. As a puppy he did amazing with potty training but as he gets older the worse it is. I constantly take him outside, he gets praise I don't physically discipline him of he goes in the house. He just won't...

Hi everyone! My boyfriend and I just got our first bulldog baby about 2 weeks ago. Things are going well with him but I am having a HUGE problem with him peeing on any blankets, pillows and clothing he can find!! He is 17 weeks and still potty training. Any suggestions??! T

First post, but I've been lurking for a while. My wife and I got our puppy about 6 weeks ago. He was 11 weeks old when we got him and he was about 80% paper trained. Living in the city, we initially didn't want to take him out to the street until his vaccinations were complete, so we...

I'm hoping to pick up some more tips! What are some of the things you do daily for your pups? I was looking at frank's slew of products on the table and felt like a crazy person! I never knew I would get so involved with a dog! I knew bulldogs were a high maintenance breed but sometimes I feel...

So since we've switched to Natures Logic food, Archie is doing so well. His poop has firmed up and he goes only twice a day, the problem is the time that he goes. The first time is late morning/early afternoon & that's not a problem. The second time is between 3:30 & 4 am every night, like...
