    Thinning fur / hair loss

    I have a 2 year old English Bulldog female. A few months ago, I noticed a couple of small areas on her sides (by her hips) where the fur seemed to be thinning. I've had bulldogs before and know they can have skin issues -- since it wasn't bothering her, I assumed it'd heal on it's own, that it...

    Bulldog vomiting

    One of my bulldog-mixes had frequent puking issues. We fed him Nutro brand when we first got him (which worked well for our other bulldog) but he just couldn't digest it well and as soon as he got a little active or drank too much, it would come up. This happened at least 3 times a week...

    Young Puppy w/ Pneumonia - future problems?

    My husband and I had reserved an english bulldog pup for us a couple of weeks ago. Since then, the breeder has told us she has had some problems. She was small to begin with, 2nd smallest in a litter of 11. Her soft pallet has a small "V" opening and has caused her to get aspiration pneumonia a...
