Hi everyone, I received this private message from RalphieBoy and am reposting it for him so everyone can read it and offer some help. I don't have any experience with this.

Guys I need some help. The liter the boys were in had a total of seven male pups. I only know one other family that bought one of the pups. They live in Atlanta. The pup they got was not the runt. We got him. Our two have gotten along great. Little Diarrhea but nothing big. The pup in Atlanta Sparky has had a terrible time. Sparky has had cherry eye and recently breathing troubles. The owner Ivan tells me at times they are afraid Sparky will not catch his breath. He said they changed vets to a vet that specializes with Bully's an hour from where they live. He said it is tied to the amount of mucus Sparky has. The vet has recommend doing some kind of nose and throat surgery. That if they do not do the surgery now it will only get worse. Ivan says worse is death. They are taking Sparky back to the vet tomorrow. Ivan and his family is not the best with speaking English. He said sometimes they do not understand what the first vet was telling them. Is this something common? I told Ivan I would get with you guys and get back with him. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. They are scared to death and I am too. Thanks

I know how hard it is not always catching up on what the vet says, I'm Swedish our vet is Afrikaans but we both speak English... still hard to get it at times. Isn't there anyone who can go with them to the vet? Or ask the vet to speak nicely, I tell my vet straight if I don't understand, I don't care what they think of me. Luckily our vet is good, he's patient with me
