Any soda, I used Pepsi. Remember to gently squirt it into the cheek area, not directly down the throat. Palate surgery is very common in the bulldog. Most that need it done try to wait until the dog is at least a year old, but if it is causing breathing difficulties then it needs to be handled before then. As others have said, keep the dog calm and cool, not to over heat to cause heavy breathing. I had the surgery on a 9 month old once because of breathing issues. I have heard that if it is done too early on, that sometimes it may need to be done again at a later time. I have not experienced this however, but just be aware. If it is just a palate issue, your bulldog should be able to breath much easier after it is done. Please make sure that whom ever is doing the surgery is familiar with bulldogs, has done this on bulldogs a lot and is experienced in anesthesia in bulldogs. That is very important. If your vet has not seen many bulldogs, then I would suggest you find a bulldog vet in your area.I wish you and your baby great success and I hope that your baby feels better soon.

We do the lemon juice now but have not tried clear soda... do you just mean like 7UP or something like that?

Lemon juice or clear soda available. With Q, he would get lots of thick foamy mucous in the back of his throat. The harder he tried to breathe, the more would accumulate - which would make it harder to breath. A small amount of lemon juice or clear soda breaks it up and clears the airway. I used a 3cc syringe and squirt in about 1 1/2cc.
Try to keep him calm and not allow him to play/exercise too vigorously. He also needs to be cool. Basically, you don't want him to pant, for now.
Good luck ! He'll be much much more comfy after the resection.
