my girl, since a pup, has been sent to bed at 9.30pm. we always told her to "go to bed" as a pup and she would walk up the hall way and go to bed. Now she is 2 , we still send her to bed with the kids at 9.30pm, and now, even if we have a house full of people, if we want her to go to bed at anytime, we just say" go to bed" and she does she is so obedient

motto farm has a good one his name is Martin Strong he was recommended to me from other breeders cant complain abit about service

thanks going to the vet tomorrow have put curash on the areas and they are itchy, I didnt realise she was scratching them,but now I have watched her more she is scratching them. they are on the surface and they are just areas. like a kid if they grazed their knee. behind the ear is not much at all now,seems to be going away. husband is mowing the lawn again so I will see if this makes a difference also.

can anyone tell me about heat spots? as she now has some under her front arms and back legs,2 small patches behind her ears and one on her chest I am thinking they are heat spots. as I am not aware of what heat sports are I will do a googtle search just thought someone could tell me abit about them on here.

they are red,smalla amount of blood, and dont appear to be swollen. no new worming or fleaing, her diet was cganged to include chicken mince. could this be a cause? I will buy curash cream this arvo

this is a behind the ears shot chest one same ear just different angle you know I just watched her playing with the cocker spaniel and they were rolling around on the cement driveway. I wonder if these are soem sort of rub mark from sliding on the driveway? also husband mows once a week not sure if cut grass can cause these marks either. They are just small bloody[mainly red] small areas. they arent bothering her but she is a little placid compared to her wild usual self. any suggestions are welcome thanks all

HI Stormie No she is not generally itchy. I am currently uploading pics now Its not really swollen,just small bloody spots. Just got me stumped as she hasnt really come inot contact with anything

Unfortunately I couldnt get into the vet so she will have to wait until monday. I have given her another malaseb wash,done another walk of the yard and there is no wondering dew. I will go and buy some curash and give it a go. I am currently charging the baTTERY on my camera and will put some pics up for you too see.

Hi I am just after some advise and I didnt know how to word it. she has these large spots where the skin is going back to red,however she isnt bitting or scratching them so I dont know how they are scabbing up. They are swollen just red with sores on them. she has a patch on her chest,patch under her front armpit, small patch behind her ear,and smaller again piece on her leg. she is a very active dog and this has not held her back at all however looks painful. i have been putting Malaseb wash on them every 2 days, but these ones look alot worse and I didnt know if the wash was making it worse on her. i will be taking her to the vets tomorrow but I thought someone might be aware of what this is. It could also be an alergic reaction. but I took out the wondering dew a few weeks back so not sure if she is alergic to something else aswell.

I have the same issue with my bulldog. Not sure what she is alergic too but I have had many people recommend melasab[think thats how you spell it] havent used it yet as I only bought it 20 minutes ago. I picked it up from pet barn.

thanks everyone for those reasons thats why i havent pushed the food thing. i was starting to panic that she is underweight but i think she looks great I suppose I can be the perason in the ring that helps others get their points easier LOL. One way to get my experience up in the ring to. thanks again

Thanks everyone Brandy is a british bulldog and you definately cannot see her bones or ribs. To me she looks very well fitted out. She looks healthy and happy.I worm her every month as she is 5 months and the vet said that is fine. But....When we register her in a show and she comes up against the other bulldogs,she is no where near as fat as them.We dont even get a look in as she looks like I starve her compared to the others. I think she is well within her standards weight,the vet thinks she is a bit overweight as it is. I am confused and thought that the best way to have a chance of winning was to fatten her up. We already give her hamburger mince with soaked optimum dry food so i will just change this to be her morning feed and see how she goes for a while. As she has a squashed in mouth and chokes alot I worry about giving her bones as the breeder suggested no bones . She does scoff her food so bones are very limited and only under supervision. I love this pup to bits and all i want is for her to be seen as a healthy CORRECT size bulldog in the ring! thanks again

I have a bulldog pup and was wanting people to PM or post what they feed there pup as she isnt putting on much weight.she gets scrambled eggs with chesse for breakfast,Optimum for lunch and soaked optimum with beef minced[raw] for tea. Any suggestions would be appreciated

thanks dru I have some pics of brandy on the bulldog breed thread I started.

Thanks for the reply I will give that cream ago.

My bulldog puppy has a red rash that goes around the side of her fanny.she is rubbing herself across the carpet to itch it. Is there anything I can by for this? I went to the vets for some rash cream and they said they had to examine her first and that they cant get me in til monday.Is there any human cream we can give? I think its like thrush or something.It also started with smaller rash so I dont know if it was a heat rash and then it got itch.Its not bothering her much and she doesnt rub it much but I would like to start fixing it. thanks

I found 2 lumps on the back of brandys legs[bulldog] and when i took her to the vets they were a swollen gland.Apparently there are alot of glands at the back and he said because she was having some problems with her soft pallette that this could have inflamed them.He said to come back in a month and have them checked again. just thought I would add this/

Hi I think the vet would probably do a check before 8 months old thats just when i thought i would have it checked as the syptoms he talked about and a few from on here are what she has. and she definately is goose honking. its very sad

Puggles. Can you let me know how you get on.Where is yagoona near .Do you happen to know how long they are in surgery for? Thanks again

bilby is this GIO you are referring too.I have cover with them and would be interested to know if thats who you are talking about as then I will do some hunting around.

Ta I was told that it would cost from $1000 to $1500. I dont know how to make a deal withna vet for cheaper.I might look around when she gets abit older

The vet I seen second was a specialtist and he would be performing the operation with another vet.She has alot of trouble with the heat and the worrying things is its not realt that hot yet.She snore something shocking[which I know bulldogs snore] but she only sleeps for 5 minutes at a time then she wakes and then sleeps and this goes on all night.Of a day she sleeps much better and has to make up for the lost sleep from the night before.We have a park just at our corner,we are about 6 houses away and she struggles to get her breathe when just going that far.The vet had a quick look at her nostrils and he said they were realy good size so thinks there is no problem there. When she gets to 8 months he wants to put her under and check her throat.He said the worse she gets the sooner than later it MAY have to be. I honestly hate waking of a night to my poor baby trying to get some sleep over her breathing and extremely load snoring. I was interested in prices aswell to let me know when to start saving.LOL. Thanks again

brandy is not being done yet. However I have seen 2 vets and it will need to be done when she is around 9-10 months old. she is phlemy and cant get it up. We have her on some medicine and this is what we will stick to until she gets older.

I have a bulldog and think she will need to have her soft pallete cut.The vet said this could be why she is congested all the time and said there is a chance that she might not make it out as the throat can swell and this can choke them.Just wanting to know if anyone else has had this done. she is a british bulldog pup

thanks everyone I will pass this information onto my friend.she will realy appreciate it.i think its hormonal as she might still be teething
