” Quote “

It happens every time I lose a dog, takes a piece of my heart with him. And every dog that comes into my life gives me a piece of him. If I live long enough, all parts of my heart and dog will get to be so generous and kind as they are.

Sore Wrinkles

Sore Wrinkles:

Bulldogs need care of the face area and in the deep folds. Wipe their faces with a baby wipe or unscented cloth.  If needed apply baby diaper rash medicine in between the wrinkles, if they get red or raw.  Always keep in between the wrinkles dry this is what is called “facial fold dermatitis”.

Water and Bulldogs

Water and Bulldogs:

Most bulldogs can’t swim,  at least 75% of there total weight is concentrated in their massive heads, shoulders, and torso.  A bulldog is seldom able to keep his large head and short nose above water. Even in depths of as little as 2 feet.  They do however love to play in the water.

Demodex Mange

Demodex Mange:

There are two forms of  Demodex mange, localized and generalized.  Bulldogs might possibly have a outbreak of Demodex due to puberty, stress, or possibly something they are allergic to in the enviroment from which they live or the food in which they eat. This is a condition that is easily cured.

Elongated Soft Palate

Elongated Soft Palate:

All bulldogs have an elongated soft palate, this is because of the shape of their heads (i.e.:brachycephaic-short-nosed). In most cases this causes nothing more than snoring, but in severe cases can possibility cause difficulty in breathing. Heat and exercise will cause loud gurgle breathing, (known as “roaring”). The severity can range from loud breathing when excited, to regurgitation of food to permanent breathing difficulties. The condition can be corrected with surgery.

Itchy Skin

Itchy Skin:

Some bulldogs have allergies: to grass, carpet or possibility the food you are feeding them.  If you can not control this with their diet then you may need to see your vet. Some dogs are allergic to corn or wheat in the food that they are being fed. But for a rash – Apply Destin diaper rash ointment daily till rash is gone.

Entropian

Entropian:

This is where the eyelashes have turned inwards and rub against the eye, surgery may be required.  Sometimes it is only stray eyelashes that     are growing the wrong way (which is called “Distichiasis”. These can be removed (I usually let the vet take care of this). Entropian  needs surgery, if not taken care of promptly the lashes will eventually scratch the cornea and could severely damage the eye or even worse cause blindness.    Your dog only has one set of eyes always see your vet for any eye troubles.
