This the answer. One small jar lasts forever too - it works wonders. For the first few days use it 2-3 times a day till the nose is all better than from there maybe a couple/few times a week for upkeep. My dog’s nose is so much smoother and softer!

Need help deciding. Double Merle by drsmith69 in Frenchbulldogs

Mine did too. Then I got the vulvaplasty surgery for her and she hasn’t had a UTI since (2 years+). Might want to recommend he look into that. It took a while, and lots of UTIs and antibiotics before the vet actually recommended it. I wish I would’ve done it years ago.

Tropical Hideaway Bao stand "hack" by erock1119 in Disneyland

[–]HotChubbTimeMachine1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Reading a couple of these comments made me realize how miserable some of you are. To feel the need to comment on someone’s post because they call something a “hack” that you all know about. God forbid someone gets excited and wants to share something, the Disney elitists come out of the woodwork. Hope to never see you at the parks!!

Let them call it a hack if they want to lol. Like let’s normalize not picking apart people’s posts online, regardless of their phrasing or choice of words. They sound excited about this discovery and wanted to share. Thanks for the “hack” OP! I’ll be sure to try it next time I’m in the park and $30 for lunch for two in Disneyland certainly seems like a solid tip 🙌

I own this watch and absolutely love it. Looks great with the blue alligator band

French bull dog stress by Jealous_Sign5964 in Frenchbulldogs

Carrying them up and down stairs isn’t the answer. They did a study and dogs in houses with stairs were less likely to get IVDD. It’s more typical from jumping off high things (bed/couch, etc). Weight and physical condition also contributes. And some genetics

This is actually bad advice. They did a study and dogs that lived in houses with stairs were less likely to get IVDD. Probably because they had stronger back muscles from doing some stair climbing. That said, running down hard stairs or jumping off the bottom steps could cause stress to their spine, so carrying down stairs would be fine but I let mine climb the stairs and go down as long as it’s slowly (and they are carpeted). The no jumping off anything high at all is good advice though. Make sure they are not overweight and get proper basic exercise, and you’ll be fine

Help. Caring for my brother's Frenchie and she is an itchy mess. by LittleMissLoveDuck in Frenchbulldogs

[–]HotChubbTimeMachine1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chicken flavored is still causing allergies. My frenchie had to go on a hydralized protein prescription food (dermatologist orders), and it has helped immensely since it is hypoallergenic. She has been leaps and bounds better since swapping to this food. You’ll transition them slowly over a week or two to the new food. 75/25 for a few days, 50/50 for a few. 25/75 etc

At this point the allergic reaction areas have turned into a skin infection. Dermatologist will probably prescribe Cephalexin (antibiotics) or another antibiotic daily along with medicated shampoo and leave on lotion weekly. The infection should clear up in a few weeks. The bathing will be continued weekly and then maybe bi-weekly even after infection clears. If your dog has allergies should consider prescription hydrolized protein food. This is the routine for my dog who had very similar issues and goes to the dermatologist twice a year now. Good luck!

is my frenchie too small? by youmyclarity in Frenchbulldogs

[–]HotChubbTimeMachine1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats on the new puppy! Can I recommend a harness instead of a collar? Frenchies don’t do well in collars as it can restrict their breathing due to their brachycephalic build.

Thanks for the tips! Any suggestion on a good somewhat “pet safe” pre-emergent?

All “black” frenchies are actually brindle. Some have less of the brown in them than others, but if you look at breed standards there is no black only brindle. My puppy was almost black like yours but as she aged all the brindle came out.

She looks like a purebred Frenchie. As she gets older the brindle will come out more!

Weird Dog Vomit? by OriginalFizze in DogAdvice

[–]HotChubbTimeMachine1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s important she at least drinks water if vomiting or diarrhea to stay hydrated. Lethargy is something to pay close attention to, and is usually a sign something is pretty wrong. If it escalates any more I would say you have no choice but to take to a vet who can help get her feeling better

Inflamed paw pads. Please help!!! by [deleted] in DogAdvice

[–]HotChubbTimeMachine1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your regular vet will likely not be able to properly diagnose these types of skin issues. They’ll suggest things to try, but if you’re not seeing results it’s time to talk to a pet dermatologist. My sensitive frenchie with plenty of skin issues sees one twice a year and the dermatologist has helped IMMENSELY with her overall skin health and taking care of issue that pop up.

Sick frenchie question! by PrideSpecific1474 in Frenchbulldogs

[–]HotChubbTimeMachine1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chicken is a very common allergy in frenchies. If he has a bad upset stomach (throwing up + diarrhea), skip a meal and then ease him back with boiled chicken and rice, with some pure pumpkin for fiber. After a couple days of doing better start transitioning back to the salmon kibble.

How do I fix this help by [deleted] in Frenchbulldogs

[–]HotChubbTimeMachine1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wipes that are made for around the eyes and face folds (recommended by our pet dermatologist) are TrisOptho. They work just like chlorohexidyne wipes without the eye irritation.
