English Bulldog (Medium Coat)
Description:
Sweet Adele came to us as a stray. She was in very bad shape, having massive wounds covering her back, that were infected and full of maggots (sorry, we know thatâs gross) She was sick, injured, sad, and lost, but still sweet and grateful for the help. Weâre still not sure what happened to her, just that she was neglected and needed treatment and time to heal. Our Medical Staff watched over her vigilantly and our volunteers paid for additional specialized Veterinarian care. Our volunteers also coordinated numerous transports in their own vehicles to make sure that she was at every appointment (our volunteersâ rock!) She is now ready to start her new life with someone special. Could that be you?Adele isnât crazy about other dogs, so a meet and greet with yours is a must. She may be okay with an easy-going male dog, but again, that is a maybe. She would be happy being the only piglet in the home. Adele seems to know the difference about going potty outside, vs inside, so that is a plus and she should be easily trained on how her new household works. We donât want to scare anyone away, yet Adele will need some follow up medical care after adoption. Please read what our veterinarian explains below. If you are interested, someone from our Vet Staff would be happy to speak with you about it further. Both knees have medical concerns. She has left sided medial patellar luxation, she has right sided cruciate tear. It would be recommended to repair the right cruciate surgically. She also has the typical English bulldog upper respiratory problems, so it is recommended to perform the BOAS surgery which opens up her nares and surgically fix her soft palate. The BOAS surgery really needs to be done at a specialty clinic, and ALL bulldogs SHOULD do it. She has been walking okay as a house puppy as long as she stays trim and doesn't get overweight, that will help immensely. She also has the idiopathic head bobbing which can be seen in this breed as well. It happens when she seems to be stressed or anxious, when she was kept back in medial where it was quieter we never really saw it, now that she is in the runs it has been reported more frequently.
