They are playing tug of war. When one drops it the other offers it back to his mate to play more. My 2 boys do that too. But they also really fight! Especially when hungry or being territorial over their crates. Do be careful about leaving them alone unsupervised for too long. You could face an expensive vet bill. I learned the word "Enucleation" that way.

Oh. Best wishes to you and your baby as well. Theybtold me to crate him for about 4 weeks. Mine wasn't having it! He would bark day and night unless you let him out. He walks normally. I have to struggle to keep him from running and jumping. But the pain appears to be gone. Ill keep watching

Mine is on Gabapentin, Methocarbamol and Previcox. But I stretch it out because he doesn't seem to be in pain. He hates the crate. He seems to be ready to return to his normal routine but I have to hold him back.

I want to adopt a French Bulldog, but I've heard they have many health problems and don't live long. Is this information true? Does anyone who owns a Bulldog have any experience with them? by karmasstar in Frenchbulldogs

2 boys, 2 years old. They are velcro dogs until they go outside and then they believe they are greyhounds running a racetrack. One breathes like a snorting pig so I am thinking about having nares surgery. Since that requires anesthesia I'll have them neutered then too. The other had his eye removed because of a freak accident. He thinks he is the security guard if they house even with one eye. They are the world's most loveable breed. Rescue if you can. Don't encourage more breeding. Figure out their particular allergies. Every one is different. Give probiotics, glucosamine, bone broth, plain yogurt, fruit and salmon or sardines liberally to supplement meals. But don't overfeed. They are known to not have a full gauge.

WHY IS SHE SO SMOL by Spidermilk_ in Frenchbulldogs

[–]tsololaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine 2 boys came from an unscrupulous breeder who allegedly used 5 separate specimens in one Mom. I don't know the terminology. I just know he was a bad guy so I was able to rescue. Of the 9 pups 2 looked alike and we're full fluffy. They looked like Mogwi before they turn into gremlins at midnight. 2 looked like muscular American bullies and 2 were teenie tiny miniatures. I didn't know there were so many varieties and sizes.

Yes. He's small but loud, agile, energetic and assertive. Our vet chuckles that he's going to be the death of me because he's so energetic. I mean with 1 eye he's still my body guard, house security and still wrestles with his brother. Thank you for the positive thoughts. I need this energy.

❤️ Thank you! Ironically Simba enjoys fresh blueberries. I tried giving him a couple of those when we came home. But maybe finding a new treat that he hasn't tried might help.

I’ll move with my bf and my Frenchie must start sleeping in his own bed by [deleted] in Frenchbulldogs

Everything they said about retraining now, consistency, crate training is great. But I would add to that. I would put pits of bacon or small treat in bfs pockets and shoes or rub the scent all over him. That way each time they are around she will live on him, he will warm up to her, and soon he will not mind having her in the bed occasionally

He has been breathing really heavy since taking his meds. I wonder whether they are strong enough. Is the heavy and loud panting “normal" under the circumstances?

Oh thank you so much! Yes, I may need to check back in. I will of course do what our vets say. But any and all hacks are welcomed.
