surgery

Has anyone had their EB street from torn ACL? The vet said a surgery may be needed. But i’m scared of my EB getting a surgery because I’ve heard stories about bulldogs not waking up from surgery. Please kindly advise other options for those who have EBs that have torn ACL. Please thank you

Hello, my 3 year old had the tight rope procedure on his right knee 1.5 years ago and recovered well. He just tore his other ACL and requires surgery. I have read that TPLO is the “gold standard” for canine ACL repair but can’t find a lot of literature supporting one method over the other for...

hey everyone! im new here and have been loving reading all the advice but one problem i keep having is that many of the recommended products, especially food, isnt available in the uk. Lenny is only 14 months and had to have surgery for bladder stones last month :( the vet suggested purina HA...

My Sasha had a cyst form on her back foot between her toes. I read it's common in Bulldogs. The bad thing is my Vets only suggested surgery. To me that should be a last resort. It's not big and it doesn't bother her. Another crazy thing is another one is starting to form on her other back foot...

We are new to this site and looking to some advice, Lola is 9 years old and she just went under surgery ( total ear ablation) due to scarring and chronic ear infections. She came home yesterday and immediately noticed that her breathing was very congested and with a lot of snot from her right...

Hey all... so a brief background on my bully is this. Had the soft palate surgery when he was 1 after he aspirated his food and got pneumonia. Fast forward to 6 yers old.. i recently gone to a allergist and we switched his food to purina pro plan ha due to the fact hes allergic to almost...

Buster had ACL surgery yesterday. He had a partial tear that we had been keeping an eye on. He would limp a bit when he got out of bed then kind of walk it off. The past few days he was really hobbling but not carrying his leg. We took him to the vet yesterday and the partial had turned into...

He’s been leaking urine since we got him, 3-4 months ago. X-rays showed the stones and today was his surgery day. He’s in a lot of discomfort after a 2 hour procedure and his underside is very swollen. Hopefully, this will get him started on a complete recovery. Pre surgery... Post...

Bruno (the rescue dog) half way through his 1 mile walk. Since his recurring pneumonia and throat surgery in December I have been taking it easy on him. He needed time for his lungs to heal. Short walks at first then 1/2 mile then 3/4 mile walks. His lungs seem to be doing much better and he...

Hello my girl had surgery last week on tail and spay. I have noticed that after that her eyes had teared alot and now she has an irriation right below her eyes (mostly left one) and it's red and irrtated. What do you all use for irritation. Nervous to use anything near her eye.

She insists on sleeping in the recliner with him.😝 not so comfy for him but he does love it! He had rotator and bicep repair surgery a week and a half ago. This is her a couple of days before the surgery sleeping on him since she couldn’t squeeze between us.

Hi everyone. We are longtime readers of this thread, and we thank you for all of your helpful advice. We have a 10 month old bulldog, who unfortunately after she was spayed had hip luxation (out of socket) on both sides. We absolutely do not blame our vet. On the X-ray there are signs of...

Hi there - first post - proud owner of 2 english bulldogs Our little female bulldog (2 years old) had entropy causing her to constantly squint - so we decided to get surgery. All went well, she is not in pain, but now after 2 days she has formed cherry eye on the operated eye. We have had...

We have just had a call from the breeder who has just been to the vets with the pups for their final check up and she has informed us that Wesley has a small hernia which her vet has said should not be a problem at all but “may” need a small corrective surgery if there is any problem when he is...

Hi all- Been lurking around here for a few months for general advice on the breed... Unfortunately, per some recent x ray results, my little guy has pretty bad hip dysplasia on both sides. I brought him in because he sways a lot when he walks... also, after playing at the dog park the other...

Well..... Harlea Bug is at it again. We noticed her squinting a bit out of the blue a few days ago so we got her in to the vet this morning and low and behold she has Distichiasis. The earliest appointment we could get her with the specialist for the surgical consult is next Monday, but in the...

Hi All, My Red used to love riding in the car. For the last 6 months he pants while in the car and even if he goes to a familiar house he continues to pant for hours after we arrive. He has been to the vet and the vet says he he healthy. Anyone ever experience this and if so what did you do...

Meet Bruno the rescue dog. We got him in November. he was surrendered because of health issue. Chronic aspiration pneumonia. He was surrendered in June? 'spent a lot of time in the hospital and with foster parents. He got pneumonia again just before thanksgiving and went through pallet and...

Surgery went well (according to Dr.) he is very inactive - cant coax him out of crate...Hope he is better soon! Prayers Accepted!

I had previously mentioned in another thread after winning the Turkey Leg contest that Buster was limping on that leg. We went to the vet yesterday and he has a partial ACL tear. We are not doing surgery at this point. We are trying to keep him as quiet as possible and he is to continue on...

He is coming home today from ACL surgery - keep him in your thoughts and prayers!

Hey guys, So lately things have been hectic, with me starting a new job (remote), and my kids going to school full time here at home, I’ve been crazy busy. But yesterday, I noticed Brisket sitting on the edge of his dog bed, and the tip of his penis was red and swollen. It Looks inflamed and...

For the last few days our girl has been doing this thing where she tries to clear her through a couple of times and then gags (sometimes followed by vomit). She's always done this one or twice after eating without the vomit but lately she's started doing it throughout the day. Any thoughts on...

Hi. My dog, Otis, has urate stones. He had two surgeries to remove them recently and I found out last week that some stones are back. I switched to Hills U/D and more water intake with food. I'm desperate to find anything else that will help him to avoid surgeries. Clearly, he cant have...

Our neutered bulldog's prolapsed urethra was getting worse, so the vet sent us to a surgeon who did surgery on the area at another vet clinic. The day after the surgery, I brought him home. He was bleeding some when peeing, but we were told this was normal. When my husband came home and went to...

Herschel has bitten my wife and I both in the past 3 weeks. Her incident was pretty bad and I have grown concerned over what to do with Herschel and his increasingly aggressive behavior.. Background: Herschel is 8 Herschel has had entropian surgery and his eyes are a constant battle even 6...

I have a 4-year-old English bulldog who in the last 3 weeks has made two trips to the emergency room. The vet says that he needs the upper airway surgery which I have scheduled for this Wednesday. In the meantime I'm trying to figure out other than keeping him out of the heat what kind of room...

Well Mr Chunky got a little excited late saturday night and hurt his back leg. I took him to the vet today and they did an X-ray which didn't show any broken bones but did show some arthitis in the leg. He would not allow them to check his leg for range of motion and they did not want to sedate...

Afternoon, Does anyone know of any reputable vets in the southern New Jersey area? Our bulldog needs surgery and we are looking for someone with a good track record and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations. Thank you!

Hi there, my 8 year old "healthy" bully has been gagging, flem and throwing up as of late. Will be checking with a vet, even though not too trusting of any vets. Has anyone else had the Brachycephalic Airway Syndrome Surgery or Elongated Palate Surgeries and have they been a success? or any...

A bit of background. 4 days after we got Buster (7 weeks ago) we had entropion surgery done on his right eye. His eye was scarred and a mess. That is all healed up but his eye still looked very red and inflamed and his eye ointment wasn't helping. On Friday, I made an appointment at a pet...

This has been a bit of an eye-opener for us! Don't get me wrong, we love him to bits and are so thrilled to have him but he is NOT even remotely like Monty! Monty was so laid back and easy going. This boy has his quirks and is so stubborn. If he doesn't want to go outside, he won't, even if...

Since Porkchop's tongue can't reach his entire nose to "exfolliate", I put coconut oil on it at least 5 days a week and then he'll rub it on the carpet (or wherever) and little nubs will come off. However, lately that isn't working well. I attached a photo here. (It's the best shot I could get...

Since getting Buster on Monday, I have been concerned about his right eye and his ears. He came with meds for both. His eye looked to me like it had a small scar. I went to put his drops in his ears and I couldn't see down in his ears at all and they were very red. Also, he was slightly...

I just got a new puppy and was told that he has corkscrew tail and that it is causing him to poop all day. The vet told us that the pain that his tail rubbing on his behind is causing him to not be able to get in position to poop properly but I have not herd about anyone that has had the same...

I looked for a similar thread and couldn't find one on ACL tears.Just curious if anyone has dealt with a ACL tear in their bulldog.It happened almost three weeks ago, and he still favors his back right leg.Our vet has done over a dozen ACL surgeries ,but I wanted to ask other owner's...

Cinder is almost 6 months old now and it’s time to have her spayed...I have been nervous about this because I have not been able to completely trust her regular vet.. She has had a few issues that I have discussed with the vet and disagreed with her opinion on..I did what I thought was best...

Hello! I am looking at a sweet puppy from a wonderful home breeder. The puppy I picked was sat on by her mamma & now is having hind leg problems. She can stand (front legs seem very strong) & walks but is wobbly. She’s been seen by vet who is recommending therapeutic massage several times day...
