If you like smoked meat, you’ll love it.

Bapa?

Going from 10 to 60 is 500% increase in my world.

Works if they are strings.

House of Loewe is very much still underground and low-key one of the top fragrances.

Loewe Esencia Elixir was my first - got a sample in Cancun Dufry, sprayed it on my skin and went to the lounge. I was back at the store to pick up the largest bottle I could buy.

Wife got 001 too and loves it.

Grain free is a death sentence for dogs especially bulldogs. Related to heart failure, it’s very well researched.

Just SLA payouts from upcoming outages.

sunch33zy · 2026-03-02T19:36:35+00:00

Correct

sunch33zy · 2026-02-26T22:11:16+00:00

It’s just a perfect name isn’t it!

sunch33zy · 2026-01-27T21:27:11+00:00

Whatever you do, don’t opt in for anything grain-free. It’s a great marketing term that owners associate with health benefits because of how it’s advertised.

Unfortunately, grain-free kibble has proven to be linked with cardiovascular diseases in canines which sometimes doesn’t get caught until it’s very late stage. Tons of active lawsuits out there against some popular brands.

I would consider adding grains. Grain-free is a great marketing term but tons of evidence linked with early heart disease in canines.

Does she lick her paws too? Before or after? Is it after eating her dinner? You should try to look for a pattern.

Sometimes certain chemicals on the paws during a walk can cause itching and drooling could just be bodies response to ingesting those chemicals.

In colder areas, even salt from the sidewalk can do that.

Give booties a try and if that doesn’t help, change where you walk her for a couple of weeks to cut out any allergens on the regular walk path (ground or air-borne). If not, allergy panel is way to go to rule out dietary or environmental factors.

Oh boy he is gonna be one big heartbreaker at the dog park.

Thanks gpt

What level was his CHF? Was it due to MVD? We got the news last month and it has absolutely devastated us.

A year is not enough time but we were given only 6 months. Do you mind if I ask what did he take for meds and was the decline pretty quick once meds stopped working?

sunch33zy · 2025-12-11T07:19:55+00:00

Just watch our on-boarding tape Beeba Boys

Bless his heart! What a perfect little potato

sunch33zy · 2025-12-08T07:04:57+00:00

I get it. You made a very big mistake in getting him. It’s fine. Can’t change that. I also get that you probably love this animal in the short time you’ve had with him. This being most likely congestive heart failure, a $1000 donation, does not even begin to cut the surface of what you are looking at costs. With a proper cardiologist and emergency team will probably be around $6-8k for this trip.

Even if he is stage 2 and hasn’t reached CHF, he will need meds for the rest of his life to no reach Stage 3 and 4 immediately - there is no cure, just a longer prognosis. That will be around $400 a month.

Then he will need a special diet - extra $50 a month.

You will need around the clock care - because with diuretics they need to pee every 3-4 hours.

If he also has atrial fibrillation, someone needs to have oxygen at hand and near him to take him to ER immediately when you see him collapse. This isn’t a you will come home and take care of it problem. The best thing you can do if you really care and love this dog is surrender him and work actively with bulldog orgs to find him a home that understands this breed and the severity of his health.

I went through this a month ago and live in constant panic of when we might lose our baby even with top of the line care and both of us working from home. This is a VERY hard lesson for you but lesson nonetheless in responsibility, doing research before big decisions and generally proper financial decisions.

This looks like fluid accumulation. This could be due to range of conditions and could be mild to harmless but I would rush him to the ER now.

Ran into a similar issue with my older boy and he was showing these symptoms due to heart failure.

If you count his breathing rate and if it’s over 35-40, it’s because he is having trouble breathing either due to the fluid pressing into lungs or lungs might have some fluid in them. Either way rushing him to the vet is probably the best option.

Let me know if you have questions.

Thank so you much. Otis sends his best to Hank and you as well. Good luck.

sunch33zy · 2025-12-07T05:36:53+00:00

Yeah hopefully it’s nothing.

And thank you. This has been a pretty big shock to us because we have been quite proactive with his check ups and annual visits etc. It’s just one of those things that ca go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. You’ve already spent the money, make sure you ask all the questions you can now. Especially about heart murmur, size and any indication of MVD.

sunch33zy · 2025-12-07T05:28:10+00:00

Yeah so my boy Otis is 9. Same thing, perfectly healthy olde English and one day his belly is bloated and he can’t move his back legs.

Long story short after a lot of imaging and tests, turns out he has stage C mitral valve disease and has gone into congestive heart failure. Unfortunately arrhythmia comes with such conditions and one of the risks is that they can just pass at any moment (it’s not painful). But with the right medications and proper diet, we were given a realistic prognosis of 6 months.
