problems

Hello, My name is Alyssa and I am a army wife and mother of three children. We are picking up our first bulldog on Friday. We have been waiting for over a year to get one. I wanted to do all the research I could before we got one. We had a german shepherd 7 years ago and when she turned one...

Cystinuria (type 3) for bulldogs is a recessive condition in which stones made from the amino acid cystine form in the kindey, ureter, and bladder. The condition affects males, it is testosterone driven so neutering a male will prevent him from having symptoms. Females are carriers and do not...

Oh my problems are endless 😞 There seems to be a different issue everyday. I know I am most likely going to have to go to the vet with this one though. Yesterday on my walk with George as always he walks along the grass at the side of the road where possible I guess he likes it better than the...

By: Charles Eisenstein* The ruling institutions of this world are quite comfortable with a virus.*First with SARS, then H1N1, then ebola and now the Zika virus, mainstream media and official organizations have been quick to recognize and counter the threat with travel advisories, quarantines...

Royal Canin is among the brands that are often described as not very good here on EBN, but since two weeks, Castor eats their hypoallergenic kibble. The background is an ear infection which our new vet thinks is allergy-related. It's a staph infection that probably is more general than just the...

If an English Bulldog has pneumonia as a puppy, will he have more health problems when he is older?

Been reading a lot about EB. The more I read the more I see the same issues with bullies. A lot of articles like so: Serious health problems.*Make no mistake about it, English Bulldogs are grossly deformed. It's been said that if you feel like supporting your vet with great chunks of money, get...

Castor has this growth under his chin (upper part of his chest). It looks like pictures I've found of histiocytomas (benign skin tumour) but I suppose we need to let a vet look at it. We noticed it two weeks ago and at first we thought it was a bite that we hadn't seen (Castor was bitten by...

I had a very emotional and upsetting thing happen to me on Tuesday Morning before I went to my Moms house. I got a phone call from a man who said he was a lawyer and that my daughter had been in a terrible car accident the night before. He told me she had gone to a football game with a friend...

In the last couple of days George's tear stains have become very bad. They are a brown colour and the fur seems to be clumping. I clean his eye wrinkles every day with some cooled boiled water as any eye cleaning product we tried seemed to make his folds red and angry looking so I thought the...

Hope everyone in the EBN community is having a great start to 2016!!!.... Just needed some advice and insight on what's been going on with our boy Bogey the past few days. Bogey is an intact male who's almost one years old. We've had Bogey for about three months. Last week he peed on the...

My poor babe randomly started gagging and throwing up last night. We were up on and off all night and I can't come up with a reason as to why he'd be sick. He initially "got sick" yesterday around 11:30-12, but after a little while - he was fine and back to his happy self. He ate his normal...

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...

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...

So my little Boo-Boo-Finn started throwing up this morning. He was having reverse sneezing along with the vomiting. I thought he was done with vomiting after the first round since most of his breakfast came out but the little guy threw up a couple more times where it was frothy bile and I did...

Hi Everyone, I adopted a male EB who is 1yr 8mos old. He's been with us for almost four months now. I am having problems with his appetite.

My bully is a year old 01.18.16. Still having problems with the potty training. We've tried everything and he still doesn't seem to get the concept. He'll go in his crate and just lay in it. He'll go outside fine but then come back in and will go. This last attempt we took him out every 2 hours...

Yesterday on Friday Boka was having problems breathing and we took her immediately to the ER. After numerous ultra sounds and x Rays, it revealed Boka had cancer in her heart. The vet said there is no cure she will survive, so we had to euthanize her. I am devastated !! My phone is getting all...

This started about 4-6 weeks ago... Sometimes Boeboe doesn't want to eat in the mornings, that hasn't been a problem before but now if she doesn't eat she'll puke up yellow bile and after that it's very hard to get her to eat anything which adds to the problem, it's like an evil circle. Then I...

I am 16 weeks pregnant and Mr. Chubbs also turned two a week ago. In the past two weeks Mr. Chubbs has been acting out--ruined Mama's boots 😔, chewed a marker on the carpet that won't come out, opened Christmas presents under the tree. He had free reign of the house until today. Today we...

George just refuses to nap during the day. He gets his walk and playtime and you can see him getting tired but he refuses to nap he wants us to sit with him and he will rest, not sleep, but if we need to get up he gets up too. Under no circumstances will he go into his crate during the day if we...

I have been reading up on anal sac issues because Macon has been having problems. One of the articles I read said to add a powdered fiber, like benefiber to their diet. It said that the problem can be because with quality foods there is less poo and it can be the reason for the problem. Has...

I have seen this on FB, and it's a great reminder to always read the ingredient labels for hidden ingredients that we may unknowingly be feeding ourselves or our dogs. Peanut Butter is a great treat for dogs, and is safe to give as an occasional treat, to put in Kongs or other treat holders, or...

Mr. Chubbs has three white toes that have always had white nails. They are starting to grow out a reddish-black color. Not sure if this is a sign of a problem or not. He is also having problems with allergies that have involved the skin on his face and the areas in between his toes. He is...

Tonight Winnie and Gus each gobbled up a chicken bone, one got a thigh bone and one a leg bone. As I saw them and was yelling "NO!" they swallowed them whole. I got some hydrogen peroxide down Gus, but Winnie, who has had the treatment before, wasn't having any of that nasty stuff. Can you...

10 1/2 yo Bully, usual allergy problems. She does the reverse sneezing , every now and then, where she's like trying to snort and clear her nose. But has never had it happen like this. It's like there's a blockage or something, but can't think of how / what / when it would have happened. THE...
