ETA: On the dol forums..

Just seen the "on the dol forums" bit :p

just a heads up; all dogs advertised on DOL must be desexed.

:p in the breeds section, a u sure? We advertised a boy for rehoming a mth or so ago & he wasn't desexed

Hi,

I have a 8 week old purebred GSD.

My family and I are very excited to have him.

We are looking for a vet in our local area which people can recommend, mainly for GSD's ?

I know there is a lot of vets, just like their is mechanics..

Can someone make a suggestion?

Located near Blacktown..

Hi

We use Quakers Hill Vet Hospital on Burdekin Rd, Schofields.

They are excellent, a from us.

Regards Moko.

Hi All,

I never posted this on here to have any negative thoughts made towards Jennifer on how she deals with rehoming her dogs

(forgive me if my interpretations of negativity is way off the mark)

The main reason I started this post was to see if the many people on these forums had heard or know of anything as I feel

this is just not right. I'm not sure what her intentions are with trying to find him as I don't personally know her, but if I was

placed in this situation I would want the new owners to know they were SCAMMED out of there money & given false info',

as I strongly believe this was the case.

I appreciate everyones replies & I know we all have strong opinions on the way we each would've handled things with the rehoming

of the dog or any dog. But I really feel for her as she thought she had found genuine people who would give her boy a good home

& not on sell him just to make a quick buck.

I personally would not appreciate any person doing this to me & strongly believe this is a dog act (no pun intended)

I don't know what they're going to do if this dog is found. Someone got the dog for free and then on-sold it - all legal?

Although this maybe all legal, Her belief is she got scammed & the people who purchased him have been scammed also.

How can someone who receives a dog FTGH (if thats how her ad' or what ever her means of rehoming him was) then go &

sell him for $2200 & claim he is 22mths when he is nearly 6yrs old. To me thats just a scum act & people like this need to be stopped.

There is a pic of the dog in the Mature Dogs (British Bulldog) for sale section on dogzonline.

He is under Karazma.

you're not sure your own dog is desexed?

There are bulldogs for stud in the trading post I'd keep an eye out there, or contact the police if the dog is still in your name and you have the purchasers contact number

It's not my dog, I have posted this as I was one of many bulldog people who received this email from Jennifer.

I don't know her personally but as alot of people frequent these forums I thought I would post here to try help

a fellow bulldog person out.

Hi All :D :D :D

I personally don't know Jennifer but I was 1 of many bulldog people who were sent this email.

If anyone knows or hears of anything regarding this boy could you please contact Jennifer

Cheers Moko.

I am currently using zip lock sandwich bags to bag individual portions in, but finding they tend to leak when defrosting which OH is getting narky about [no idea why, I have the defrosting ones in an ice cream container in the fridge].

Can anyone recommend something better?

I use freezer bags only coz it's cheaper. I package ours in 1kg lots then when it comes time to defrosting I pull a couple of packs out put them in one of our old esky's which is now officially the dogs usually takes a day to defrost. Whateva they don't eat goes in there fridge, for there next meal.

I think you got her at an excellent time and you have every reason to expect puppies. Good luck!

Thank you, were not counting our chickens just yet but we are seeing a definate change in her & are noticing her boobies are getting bigger.

Her stomach is getting rounder but maybe that could have to do with the change in diet (slight increase in food)

We'll know for sure in 2 or 3wks when we can get the ultrasound done.

my british bulldog has always vomitted up small amounts of food, now he is vomitting most of his undigested dinner. have been to vet who suggest we mash his food and try feeding him smll amounts regularly. We were going to try this for 1 week and see what happens, we think we should put him on some sort of vitamin and perhaps a bulking up (like body builders) supplement. He is very happy, runs around and in no way appears sick, other then weight loss. What should we do?

Hi turf, you might want to go to a good Vet who has had alot of experience with the bulldog breed & have your boy checked for elongated soft palette. You will find this is a very common occurance in the Bulldog breed & that he may vomit a number of times before he can digest his food. This may not be the case but I would be getting it checked to definately eliminate.

I wouldn't be giving him any type of (body builder) supplements but maybe place him on a diet a bit higher in fat or put him on adult dog food. You don't want to give a bulldog to much protein at a young age as it can cause problems with the development of there bones, hips & knees.

Make sure you find a vet that is highly experienced with the bulldog breed.

Good Luck.

Have had a few rescue dogs with cherry eye over the years and have always had it cut out... tacking (stitching it back in) often doesn't work long term...

Both ways require general anaesthesia as it is a painful procedure and no dog on the planet would allow someone to stick them right in their eye whilst awake or under light sedation.

Aftercare is always very important due to possibilities of infection and trauma.

Sorry Cordy have to correct you here. Having Neos with their big droopy squishy faces pretty much all of my guys have had a cherry eye or two, I have a wonderful vet who agrees with me not to muck around with them and take them out and be done with it. He does it during a normal consultation under a light sedative and local anesthetic, takes two seconds and less than $150 all inclusive and never ever have I had a dog worry about the whole proceedure.

Admittedly if he is on holidays or something I can not find another vet that will take them out at all, even his partner wont do it and its kept quiet around the clinic.

Yep the vet we went to only used a local anesthetic, was shocked at how quick it was. Thought they would have to knock him out & then have him in recovery but nah 20mins all done. Very Happy

Just an update, went in today to have Hugo's cherry eye removed. Was in & out within 20mins.

The vet explained to me again, the procedure & the possibility of dry eye & how we can moniter that.

He bled, when he was first bought out to me & that was all. Have just put his last lot of med's in for the night

& I swear you wouldn't even know he had it removed. Both myself & hubby were very surprised.

He really looks like a different dog, he got home & couldn't stop running around probably thinking

"shit I can see properly again" ;)

Thanks to all for your opinions/advice.

My poor 7 month bully has done something to his back leg. The other day we went out for a hour and came back and he could barely walk. We only noticed it when he woke up. His is caged off in the laundry when we are not home. His leg is so sore that he wont let it touch the ground and walks on 3 legs. We took him to the vet and they examined it with no obvious signs of anything serious. Gave him a injection shot for the pain and if it wasn't better the next day then take him back for xrays. We hoped it would get better over night but unfortunatley it didnt and we took him back. But the vet still could not see anything damaged or moved from the xray and has sent them off to a specialist. We have to wait 48hrs for a reply. Meanwhile i feel so terrible seeing my boy in pain. He is such a lovely playful pup and now he just sits there in pain. I do my best to kept him happy but i can't let him out in case i aggreviate it more. Its a agonising wait now and my wife and i are so sad. Has anyone else had a similar experince and can anyone suggest what has happen to my poor boys leg?

2 of our bully's have done the same thing at different times as younger pups. Our bitch injured her leg as she slipped on the tiles, she had slight tissue damage got cartroven (spellchek) shots & needed to be crated for 6wks only being allowed out wen she needed to go toilet & had to be kept on lead at that time. As she grew & her bones became stonger she made a full recovery, we also had to pull weight off her too as she was a bit on the chunky side ;). Our boy had tissue damage from playing a little to rough with our older dogs, had exactly the same symptoms as our bitch. It was alot harder for us to crate him as he just played up the whole time coz he wanted to be with our other dogs. He's coming along fine now.

The best thing you can do is keep him crated to the point where he has no room to move, if he has too much free reign in his crate it only makes it worse (believe me it's happened twice for us). If he seems a bit on the chunky side try pull weight off him as that only aids the injury & won't help recovery.

Hopefully the vets/specialist can give you a more definitive answer & it don't end up costing alot of $$$$$ in the process, coz it can ;) :D .

Our British Bulldog is 9 months old and of recent, a visit to the local vet found that her right eye lid rolls so her eye lashes are irritating that eye causing it to water and some mild puffiness. Due to this, she has problems from time to time opening that eye. This problem is called Entropion.

We have been advised to operate however wanted to hopefully get in contact with someone who has perhaps been through this before or can offer any advice.

Thank you in advance..

I've got bulldogs too, we are taking my bro' inlaws dog (we've not long become carers) to get his cherry eye removed tomorrow.

I guess having entropion operated on would be similar to getting the cherry eye done .

The vet we are using is Rosalie @ Gladesville Vets & she was highly recommended by alot of bulldog people. If your in Sydney might pay to give her a call.

But definately get something done sooner rather then later, it definately is not a very nice thing for them to go through.

Good luck Moko.

Mine were going off too, only coz they could hear the local hoodlums screaming profanities in there drunken states, out the front.

I know that family, can't comment on the dogs though as I haven't seen them before.

Very interested to see what the golden retriever/bosten terrier looks like & how they distingushed that to be a APBT.

I guess that's why where leaning towards the cutting out. We can't risk him going under too many times if the tucking in doesn't work first time.

I've seen a few tucked in jobs & they have popped back out with in a mth or so & for the money some of these people have paid in my opinion

I would be expecting that to be the end of it.

Thank you for clearing up the whole anaesthesia bit, I was pretty sure that was the case but thought I heard somewhere that they were only under a light sedation .

Hi All

Just wondering what peoples thoughts are of Cutting out the Cherry Eye or having it tucked/sewed back in?

I know a few people who have had cherry eyes tucked back in & within wks/mths it's popped out again.

I purchased a dog last year whom I found out after the fact had had a cherry eye completely cut out, breeder preferred

to do it this way. As he was young he didn't have an issue with dry eye (not to say he may not have it in the future)

Who knows the process of removing it do they need to be put under (never questioned the breeder on this)? & if it's only being tucked in & if it pops out again & surgery or process of tucking it back in needs to happen which means the dog needs to be put under again (if thats the case) how beneficial could that be to the dog being put under 1, 2 or 3 seperate times.

Really interested to know as we have just become carers to my bro inlaws dog who has a cherry eye which has been out for some time.

Have called a couple of vets most won't cut out but will only tuck in & quotes we were given were a few hundred $$$+ but largely depends on the severity of it.

Any information would be very much appreciated.

:p

We are now feeding Bonnie working dog here. I have started feeding raw in the morning & dry at night with yoghurt & sardines.

Have tried about 4 premium kibbles & 4 cheaper kibbles, our dogs thrived on Proplan performance unfortunately our wallets didn't

A few mths back we tried Coprice Family Dog & UA.

The condition of our dogs coats on Coprice was not good & the stool of our dogs on UA came out very runny.

I did change them ever so slightly but they couldn't stomach the UA, hubby was put off by the appearance of the UA/GB

didn't bother me, but did notice that they tend to crumble alot more then other biscuits & there seemed to be alot of excess in

the bottom of the dry food bucket.

Since the Coprice, UA/GB we've now got our dogs on Bonnie Working Dog. They absolutely love it & are now looking very nice & chunky.

We don't feed them solely dry they have semi lean mince also. I was mixing it together but have read that's a no no.

So now they have raw in the morning & dry at night, also with yoghurt & sardines.

googled UA to double chek which 1 we used,
