Brought my 6 year old bulldog to the vet last week for a sore on his back and vet prescribed an antibiotic because she thought it was a hot spot. A couple years ago he started losing his hair and his side have gotten bumps on them the last week or so. The vet thought the balding could be his...

I've posted here before about this but it's been awhile. My EB Woody is 8 years old, and for the last 2 years or so, he has these "episodes" where for hours or even days, he just acts very strange. His symptoms are the following: -slow movements (sometimes it looks like he's tip toeing)...

One week ago today, Louie and Jax got into a full blown dog fight. I believe Jax is the one that started it. They were all in the kitchen while I was preparing dinner as they usually are and then they went at it. I broke them up and then went back to preparing dinner, and then round 2. It was...

Daisy is a 3.5 month old English bulldog. She's suffered from allergies but has always been to the vet to be treated for them. She has had no recent flare ups so I know that this skin condition is not allergy related. About 8 months ago this started, at first I was unsure what it was so I had...

I took Rumble to a dermatologist last year for spots where he is missing fur. This happens once or twice a year. They tested his thyroid and that is fine. The dermatologist said it is not food related but is environmental. Well the dermatologist told me to do a bleach bath when the spots occur...

My wonderful vet is NOW fully operating, so she came by today to do the annuals on the pups and take Wallygator's blood again... Walter's potassium, thyroid and electrolyte levels were perfect!!! SO now we are attributing his flank hair loss to seasonal alopecia, which I'm NOT going to treat...

Taking Wally in today, my vet finally has her mobile unit and her meds. We were out of town this weekend, and my pet sitter told me that Wallygator didn't even play w/Choco his best friend. He just watched Willow play w/him and just laid around... Yesterday he snapped at Lily... she sat on...

As most of you know, Wally has been a mess... he has a double ear infection (which I had packed last week) he is gaining weight and losing his hair. My vet is in a transition faze to a mobile unit, so she is going to check his thyroid in a week when her meds come in. I have him on a regime of...

I have been slammed busy for the last month, and next month isn't looking too great either... like everyone else, spring is insanity!!! Anyhoo I wanted to update you guys on the pups... I had our dog trainer Leah out for a couple of hours last week to watch Willow interact w/Walter. She...

Walter's hip x-ray and neuter is scheduled for tomorrow morning… I took him to the groomer's today so he could get cleaned up beforehand, and Ms. Penni told me that he growled at her when she was washing his stomach. He has NEVER done that before :( Today he was SO crazy, barking at the TV...

Hi! I have an English bulldog, Rocky. He has lost all of his hair on both flank sides. He is just bare skin. I've had him to the vet many times. His skin is in great condition;no itchy,red areas. No signs of yeast or fungal infections. Just had his thyroid tested;normal results. The vet Doctor...

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...

I got Radar's thyroid results back. Our vet sends the blood work to Michigan State I have results from Jan 15 and December 15 they are dramatically different Jan 15 Dec 15 Range Total T4 32...

Hi everyone! I haven't been around in a while as this whole having a bulldog, toddler, and wife thing has been keeping me quite busy! Our EBD, Ellie Mae McPigglesworth, has started losing hair on her sides. The hair loss is in the same place on both sides, almost symmetrical, and then a...

I talked to the vet today about Roxie's results... Her biopsy came back negative for cancer, but she did have colitis. Nothing that the vet said was unusual, something that does happen w/boxers… I never noticed her having bouts of diarrhea or vomiting. It would just happen occasionally and of...

Things are not going so well at our house… Roxie has been getting up pacing again at night, and yesterday she was refusing food. I gave her some boiled rice/chicken last night and she ate almost 1/2 cup. Well after being up all night, this morning she in now refusing water. We are headed to...

We discovered this week that Roxie seems to be allergic to her thyroid med :blink: She was put back on it for about a week this time, and she was acting VERY odd… she was waking me up at all hours of the night (starting around 3am) wanting to go out, having accidents in the bedroom, very...

Just got off the phone w/the vet… Roxie's blood work came back the same… NO changes!!! Her liver and cholesterol were slightly elevated which was expected because of the cushings and thyroid issues. So now that we are seeing SOME slight improvement w/her cushings symptoms she wants to focus on...

Ok so last night I gave Roxie 2 of the 1mg melatonins… I was determined to get some sleep last night. Well she DID sleep thru the night, of course I woke up around 4am just waiting for the whining to start, but she was silent :babysleep: and luckily I was able to fall back asleep. SO this...
