surgery

My Bulldog, Maximus, injured both of his ACL's in December. He is not a candidate for corrective surgery because of his weight. He weighs 83-lbs. I need to provide a good Chondroitin/Glucosamine product to him, and have chosen COSEQUIN Chewy's. Has anyone used this product on their Bulldog ?

My 6-year old Bulldog, Maximus, appears Sad and Depressed to me. He sleeps probably 23-hours per day. He has numerous health problems - from Allergies, to (2) torn ACL's, he is overweight at 83-lbs, and unfortunately he was not a candidate for ACL corrective surgery due to his weight. His...

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...

Well I can't take my little boy's breathing, coughing, gagging, spitting up, and what sounds like gasping for air when he sleeps anymore. Yesterday during Jewels visit to the vet, I asked and were given a consult to see the vet that did Jewel's surgery almost 2 years ago now to have Bentley's...

Would like to hear if anyone else has been through the same problem we are having at the moment with our bully. He's 16 months old and still "intact" and quite a big boy 68lb, just recently (last 6 weeks or so) he has become aggressive towards some other Bullys and French Bullys and occasionally...

Watson is going to need Cherry Eye surgery, his cornea is starting to get cloudy because of it and I've been combing this thread for all the info I can get before going to talk to an ophthalmologist. I'm so worried about putting him under, he's about to turn 4 and we just moved to a new area so...

I still see dog owners buying "rawhide" for their dogs. I do believe these owners have no clue what's in rawhide and just plain clueless. So, for the ones that really have NO clue how rawhide is made, maybe after reading this article i fell on and well explained, you go walk around the house...

Tomorrow will be 2 weeks since Beefs emergency, and he's doing WONDERFUL!!!!!!! I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out, and although we went through a lot, I don't regret doing this surgery. His quality of life is already so much better. His snoring has PROFOUNDLY decreased...he...

Hello everyone! Winston's mama here. We recently took our bulldog to his vet for an ear infection. They found an eye infection as well. The thought was that he had rubbed his face against something and injured his eye, and it went from there. For 3.5 weeks we have been medicating both eyes and...

So these past 24 hours have been the worst of my life. Beefs soft palate surgery, nares widening and neuter was Wednesday morning. We took beef home Thursday around 4pm. He was doing a lot of gaging/retching and threw up a few piles of white phlegm/foam. Everything seemed fine and we all went to...

Bill and I are both noticing that Mabel is slowing down--as if that is possible. :blush2: Her respiratory issues are bad again, but we both think putting her through another surgery would be too hard on her little body. She is anywhere between 7 and 9 years old. We love this little girl so...

Neutered time!!! I called the vet today making sure dates are right cause surgery falls on Easter Monday. So they are close Friday but not Monday. Hate long weekends then you have surgery. Better be sober cause you dont want a pissed off Italian woman in you face! :no::no::no...

Beef is going for his soft palate surgery tomorrow (with possible removal of any saccules and widening the nares) and neuter... I'm sick to my stomach about it but I know it will be the best for him in the long run. I Could really use some prayers for a safe surgery, I'm so nervous :(

Our vet quoted 2100 bucks for the surgery including $200 blood work (thyroid). This seems high based on the internet research I've done, although those numbers are not bulldog specific. They also want to keep Herschel over night which I'm sure jacks up the price. Does this sound right? Recs for...

Hi I am new here -4 years ago we got our first Bullie from a rescue. No one could age her as she had worn her teeth down to nubs but the best guess was she was 3 or 4 at the time. So now 7 or 8. She has been such an amazing addition to our family. Behavior wise a super star and health wise so...
