My little Stiggy has had hiccups the past few nights, and sometimes during the day. Is this pretty normal for bulldogs? I am wondering if he is drinking too fast or playing too soon after eating or something. I know it isn't a horrible problem, I just want to make sure I am not doing anything or allowing him to do anything that would cause it, because I know its probably annoying to him.

if so, is it effective to treat follicitis? my baby has been having this due to the mites and he has a negaitve with the skin scrapings so we need 2 more negatives, but the antibiotics he was is now resistant so the vet said to try this shampoo to bathe him every other day and use the spray everyday. Is this effective or is there any vitamins I can give him to boost his immune system?

Thanks.

Hi all,

Love to lurk around and read up on stuff that's going on, great community for sure...

On to business, Poor Rocco occasionally gets what I call an eye bubble. Not sure what it is exactly, but it's always subsided in a few hours. But in the same instance, it does come back every so often.

It's hard to describe so I was able to take a pic or two of the affected eye. Is it a stye? What should I do about it? I've made vet appointments when it's occurred, but in 2 hours it's gone.

6 Boys 2 Girls! They are so freaking beautiful. One question, she seems to want to stay away from them, not wanting to be with them. Am I in big trouble with this behavior? Please tell me what to do! Thanks!

Last night while Gus was at the meet and greet for the Kincardine Bulldogs game.. he met tons and tons of people.
he got tons of comments and my sons answered tons of questions about deaf bulldogs and bulldogs in general.
everyone had a great time

BUT THE BOYS said this was soo funny

A YOUNG CHILD...said, HEY MOM look at that dog..HE HAS BUGGY eyes....lol
made me laugh
OUT the mouth of babes..
the boys said she was likely under 5 years old..

if you enjoying reading....the two books i would add to my list
1) four paws five direction by vet cheryl schwart
2) homeopathic care for dogs and cats by vet don hamilton ****** get this one first it is very easy to read very easy to follow anyone doing hoeopathic care has this book....

both books go to cod liver oil one capsule a day. .....vit c start at 500mg and go to 1000mg after two weeks...drop back down if upset stomach.... (you can get vit c from your local drug store) or grocery store....

posted below but I wanted this not to be missed. I am in the process of changing the food to BBuffalo salmon basics. Two of the dogs have developed diahrea. I think I changed too quickly. One of the vomited her entire breakfast this morning. What do I do?

Boston is at day 61 since her second breeding and still showing no signs of labor. She has not tried to nest, just sleeping quite a bit. She has not eaten dog food for a couple of days but seems to want my food when I'm eating. She also has not drank much water. I called my vet he said she sounds normal, but I'm still freaking out a bit.

Is there anything I need to be doing? Any help to ease my mind would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Jeremy
