The vomiting, heavy breathing, I thought he was dying. Took him right in and my vet sent me right to the er. He has Pnemunia in his upper and lower bronc tubes. So now we sit and wait to here what his x-rays produce today.<BR/><BR/>he had the tie back surgery last year, due to a long pallet, we hoped it would prevent something like this happening.<BR/><BR/>Sleepless in Pa, jaimeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1673876927691003101.post-8228449562007013192008-07-22T00:46:00.000-04:002008-07-22T00:46:00.000-04:00Hi!!!

I'm so glad to have stumbled onto your blog. Rufus is adorable, but Stella just stole my heart. You just don't know how special Bullies are until you share a house with one! I'm so sorry to hear of her troubles. Speckles has been lucky with breathing so far, and she is spayed. We are lucky enough to have a wonderful vet, who is familiar with Bulldogs and is just exceptional with her. We had to take her in last Friday, she had an allergic reation, her face swole up and she had raised hives, turns out we believe she was stung by a yellow jacket. We haven't had any problems with her and anesthesia. She was spayed and also had a benign tumor removed from her leg, it wasn't dangerous, but she kept chewing at it and keeping it raw, so he removed it. Well, she busted her stitches out one Friday night, he came into the office, sewed her back up and stayed till she came out and was awake and we took her home. We have been SO lucky. She is one of us, she's not a dog at all!!!! Anyway, hope you have a good experience also. I think as mentioned above, it makes a world of difference to have a vet familiar with bullies. Good luck and keep us posted!!!<BR/>Pattiphamilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18156883963253810653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1673876927691003101.post-18176395255122074702008-06-16T10:41:00.000-04:002008-06-16T10:41:00.000-04:00Hi PA Bullies,Thanks for posting about JO-JO. Soun...Hi PA Bullies,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for posting about JO-JO. Sounds like she has lots in common with Stella, and your story about getting her spayed encourages me to keep it open as an option, especially with the great vets at Docside on the job, and very well aware of her condition. I just have to convince Stella's other parent that it's worth the risk. Definitely try the lemons, and I encourage you to try to get Jo-Jo to think of them as toys, this makes getting the lemon juice into their systems so much easier. Yes - she's a very loud girl and even more so when she's worked up or excited, you almost can't hear the TV or other noises sometimes. However, its a small price to pay for the joy she brings to our lives every day. Let us know how the lemons work out for you!<BR/> - Traceythalvorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00511356005696258129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1673876927691003101.post-38189015162672407592008-06-15T22:05:00.000-04:002008-06-15T22:05:00.000-04:00I am so excited to have found your blog! Hopefull...I am so excited to have found your blog! Hopefully I am not technologically challenged to the point that I can not comment to you. We are the proud parents of five year old female English Bulldog, Jo-jo and six year old male, Butch. Stella is so precious; it broke my heart to hear her breathing, she sounds just like our princess Jo-jo. We're going to give the lemons a try and hopefully have the same success you have with Stella. Also, as far as having Stella spayed- we adopted Jo-jo from a family when she was 3 years old and she was not spayed. We took her in right away to have her spayed and she had already developed pyrometria which is an infection in the uterus. According to our vet, if a female dog is not going to be bred she should be spayed for this very reason. I actually looked at the infectious tumor they removed from Jo-jo and it was absolutely awful to think she was walking around with that in her. He also said that if we ever move out of the area to find a vet familiar with the bulldog breed and their trachea issues because it is potentially fatal to put them under anesthesia. Good luck and thank you for sharing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
