This may be long so I apologize in advance.
He is still in supportive care, but they are saying that there is a good chance that he will come out of this and be OK. They have and are cautioning us that he may not. I understand as a former nurse that they have to air on the side of caution. We live in a small town so an outside English bulldog specialist has been consulted and has looked at the x-ray's and has confirmed the diagnosis of aspiration pneumonia. We have absolutely no idea what caused him to begin to feel ill. We did have our daughter in law come with her new puppy and her English bulldog Kawliga the day before but nothing unusual happened, no usual food, and certainly no over exerting due to the exceptional hot weather we have here in East Texas. The best guess is he had some mucus in the back of his throat which was causing him to breathe uncomfortably and ultimately what was causing him to have an upset stomach (gas) or he could've had some acid on his stomach which was causing some acid regurgitation which was causing pain which ultimately resulted in the vomiting. The passing out is of course due to him being a brachycephalic dog and he went too long without being able to breathe because he was dry heaving so severely. Ranger is an incredibly healthy English bulldog (if that's a thing. Lol) he does not suffer from any orthopedic, chronic allergy, skin issues, or breathing issues. This is just a fluke thing that has happened but we know the Ultimate Physician is on our side and He is going to, and is placing His hands on our baby to heal him completely and wholly. I will keep you all updated, as I receive information from our vet who has been an absolute angel through this whole thing. Again, if I could come and hug each and everyone of you for your kind words and your thoughts and your prayers the good Lord knows that I would. I covet them and need them more than you'll ever know. Thank you so much. Much love from us. Ashley & Ranger
