Hello bully lovers.
My sweet beautiful Layla picked me for her mom when she was just 7-weeks old. It's true, you haven't been loved until you're loved by a bulldog. Layla has a very special place in my heart, she's my best friend and enriches my life every day.
When she was 3-months old she had a successful cherry eye repair surgery, and has very healthy since. She is now 7-years old and has started with chronic dry eye, and pocket tail infection.
Since she was a puppy I cleaned her butt with baby wipes daily after every potty break. And she really enjoyed it, all I had to say was, "assume the position" she'd run and stand between my legs with her butt in front of me so that I could clean her. However, since November 2013 we have been fighting an infected pocket tail and she no longer enjoys her daily cleaning.
For her pocket tail infection she has been on Simplicef Cefpodoxime 200mg (antibiotic) and Trimeprazine / Prednisolone 5/2mg (steroid) 4 times since November. It seems to get better and then when she is off the meds for a week or so it starts up again. I found this forum in hope to get some ideas, I want surgery to be our last resort.
I'm very happy to find this forum, not only for advice, I enjoy seeing others that are just as over the moon for their bulldog as I am. I appreciate any advice or tips on how to keep my girl healthy and happy.
Namaste,
Laylas mom Kelly
