Petunia was found as a stray and turned into the local shelter. The shelter spayed her and performed nasal surgery to assist with breathing. But then she was scheduled to be euthanized (for reasons that just aren’t clear to us). We pulled her the day before her euthanasia date. English bulldogs in general have LOTS of medical issues. She was overweight and has some spinal issues (spondylosis deformans). Due to her spinal condition, she has had some minor urinary incontinence issues. She is very much house trained (peeing and pooping outside or in designated inside locations), but when we first got her, there were a couple incidents of “bed wetting” caused when she laid in a certain position. Our vet started her on a medication called Proin and she has lost some weight. We haven’t seen any bed wetting occurrences since. While in our care, she developed a corneal abrasion in one of her eyes, caused by a lower, in-turned eyelid. Entropion eyelid surgery was done by our vet and her eye is much better. In addition to Proin, she is also on Galliprant and Cosequin supplement.
Petunia LOVES attention from people, any and all people. With other dogs we would have to say that she is “dog selective.” She is surrounded by other dogs all the time and is fine with those dogs. She ignores them with the exception of a French bulldog named Francine. They hang out and occasionally play together. However, when we bring new dogs into the adoption area (which are usually small dogs) she will go after them. She is also very reactive to dogs when she goes to the vet’s office. In the right setting, with an EXPERIENCED English Bulldog owner and slow introductions, she could possibly live with another dog - maybe another bulldog who is friendly.
Please note that we don’t adopt any of our dogs out to homes with children under the age of 13.
