I spent the weekend freaking out over (my dog) Kevin's leg. As he gets into his golden years i know at some point his body will give out before his spirit. Last week he started limping more than normal... and by the weekend he would hardly walk. I spent all last night awake worried what...

Hi, I'm so curious what everybully else does! Meaty is 12 and 1/2 now, and in the PAST--- it took vet, staff member, AND hubby to get the nails trimmed. But he recently snapped at a vet tech just for something simple, so I think the ONLY way they'll attempt a nail trim is sedation---NO way...

I'm curious how many here have experienced this? We have seen a few different vets for different reasons, plus--with fostering, we had to go to specific vets that we didn't choose. Everybully here knows how *a LOT* of the general public get sooo excited and happy when they see a bulldog. It...

Sorry for being MIA. We have been going through a lot physically and mentally. Bentley as you know from an earlier post has round cell lymphoma. The weekend after the aforementioned post, Bentley developed more nodules all over his body. We took him to the vet and bluntly stated, "he has...

Hi everybully! Our precious ten-year-old was recently diagnosed with collapsed trachea and bronchiectasis. Our vets are pawsome, and we trust them implicitly; HOWEVER, it is always nice to hear peoples' personal stories! I'd reallllly appreciate any info, tips, what worked, what didn't. How...

Hello all! So Moose is almost 4 years old and almost all of his life he has been on N&D Cod Grain Free. We've switched up the protein, but anytime we've done so he has had either upset stomach or his eyes start bothering him. So we stuck with what works. Lately, he has started to throw up, and...

My little English bully has been suffering with a respiratory infection for approximately 5 weeks now, the first course of antibiotics had worked wonders, she was still a bit noisy so the vet gave an extra week of antibiotics. After that week she was seen by another vet in the same practice and...

My boy Pabllo needed exactly 10 seconds to make a ripe trough a sock and reach the 2 litres water bottle & make the hole in the picture. I only took my eyes off him for 10 seconds to reply to a text message and i have put a sock on top of the bottle for safety measurements ( i tought i was that...

Hello everyone, I noticed a pink, oddly symmetrical lump on the top of Chesters (4 years old) palate the other day, I’ve attached a picture below. I had never seen anything like it, and my breeder hadn’t either. Going back to my pictures and videos, I’ve noticed you can make it out since...

Today is a very hard day. Angus is my last surviving family dog. He turns 11 on Saturday. We took him to the vet after I noticed an enlargement of his belly and a lack of luster of his fur. He is still the same happy Angus albeit he tires so much quicker. But then he is an old dog now. The...

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...

Wes has just had his 6 month birthday :D and went for a vet check up, everything doing well and steadily putting weight on hes 46lb now and getting heavy to lift in and out of the car! :yes::D

Hello bulldog lovers! I have a puppy 7 months old. She has REALLY bad tear stains and I need help figuring out what to do. She had a little staining when we got her at 8 weeks. At that time she was on Fromm Puppy food. The breeder suggested switching to Victor Performance food as that is what...

So I’ve had my dog for 4 months now, he’s 6 months old he’s been on RC since he was with the breeder, he recently stopped wanting to eat it, like he’s not even enthusiastic like how he used to be he just smells it and walks away, he’s never been like that at all and I think he’s so over the...

Have a 6 month English Bulldog and recently started getting 3 bald spots. One in his neck and 2 on his body. They are very small but nothing I've seen before. Wondering if y'all know what it could be. Has me alittle worried. Idk if it a food reaction but berly came up and has been eating Acana...

This was just posted on my local bulldog group FB page here in Houston so I am posting it here as a warning to us all. So very sad. Everyone, please be careful this summer, it will be very hot. A week ago, my husband and I went out for a walk with our English Bulldog. It was about 8 PM and it...

Herschel is 8. We have always fed him kibble With no issues. In the past year he has began to have bouts with either choking, seizures or something else while eating. At first i thought seizure for sure. Then I noticed this always happens when he's eating or just finished eating so I thought...

Hello! Just joined- 1st post. My 7 mo old OEB is experiencing her 1st heat. Her vulva is very swollen. Is that normal? I also have a 3 yr old male (intact) that believe Lizzy needs help keeping it clean. I’m guessing his (help) may be contributing to the swelling. I’m scheduling an appointment...

Hello my fellow EBD lovers. Recently brought home my new baby boy Nugget. Slowly weened him off food Breeder was feeding him (Victor) to Hills Science Diet chicken and brown rice flavored because my vet recommended. He keeps having wet poos. Kind of like soft serve ice cream. No other symptoms...

Otis has been lethargic the past few days which I have been attributing to allergies. However I noticed swelling under his jaw. If he were human I would say it looked a little like a goiter only higher up, his collar would fit right under it. . It goes the width of the neck, is soft and flexible...

Something is not right w/Walter... This started about 3 days ago... coincidently the day that I was involved in a vehicle accident, I got T-boned sitting at a red light :pissed: We noticed Walter growling more than usual... sometimes he growls at his butt, basically letting us know that his...

I recently rescued a puppy mill momma English bully. She is about 8 and her tits are in very bad shape. Some of them are even covered in hard black scabs. Just like her poor paws. (Poor thing never saw grass until she showed up at the pound and was afraid of it!) I have special lotion for her...

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...

My 8 year old bulldog was put on steroids last month. His personality has completely changed. He pees in the house if I don’t walk him every two hours. Is aggressive to my other dogs. He won’t stop licking his front paws. My vet says this is normal behavior but I can’t keep living like this. Has...

My beautiful boy is gone. We had to say goodbye early morning yesterday. It looked like bloat My heart is shattered and the joy he gave me is now gone. He passed with me and my husband and kids around him. We said our goodbyes and let him know what a good boy he was and how much we loved him...

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...

Diesels left eye (His left, right if we were looking at him) has always been more red/bloodshot looking. The vet has never questioned it or even mentioned it and it has been there since his well check up and shot appointments. I didn't think much of it since I know some bulldogs have more red...

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...

Castor finds it increasingly difficult to bend down to his food (not sure what's the problem - he will see his vet next week). He eats from a low wide pyrex glass dish which has worked very well for many years, but now he needs an elevated bowl or a box or something under his feeding bowl. We...

I have 2 British bulldog puppies now 12 weeks. Louie & Frankie. Both brothers. I was looking for advice on feeding. I started introducing raw food into their diet at. 10 weeks however Frankie developed an infection and his poo’s had blood in them for a good while. The vet advised me to stop with...

Am I being too judgmental? I don't think I like my vet. I have a 14 week old puppy that makes up normal hunking sounds when she breaths. The more excited she is more often she does it. My vet diagnosed her with elongated soft palate. From what I know that can not be a thing that can get...

Shirley has vomited a small amount of what looks like undigested supper twice this week. It happened both times between 3-5am (yeah I hardly sleep). She's not lethargic nor showing any signs of not feeling well, no temp, eyes clear, no runny nose etc. I feed her bfast at 6:30am and supper at...

My wife has borrowed a dog pram off her sister to get Wesley out and about, hes not had his second jab yet so not allowed on the floor but vet said it’s a good idea to get him out and about to get used to noises and smells. He loved it! Nothing seemed to bother him and was fast asleep after 30...

Hi all, We have an 8 month old bulldog who as he has grown as obviously changed in regards to markings etc. However, I’ve noticed a black mark on my bulldogs testicle that is concerning me. His testicles are generally quite red and he seems in no pain or discomfort at all/eating normal etc but...

Shirley Wigglebutt being my 1st EBD, I have to ask if this is normal for the breed. I noticed on her vet paperwork from the rescue that she received and there's a reminder for it later in the year, she just had all her vet work done late November last year when the rescue got her for the...

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...

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...

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...

Hi everyone, We just brought home eight-week-old baby Chloe on Sunday afternoon. All has been well, until yesterday evening when we noticed her cough a little. She has been otherwise totally puppy-like - eating, drinking (a lot! is that normal?), playing, sleeping, peeing etc... Today she is...
