New owner General Chat

I would try to keep him off the sofa if you can. If he has a sprain, it will be making it worse every time he drops onto it. Hope all goes well at the vet.

Yeah definitely.

Oh we did try and keep him to his bed tucked up and wrappes up in a blanket to comfort him but he just wamted to be next to us even if i layed on floor with him ut wasnt good enough lol hes in vets now fiance had to take him ans took a letter from me saying she has power to consent to any treatment he should need , mot very knowledgeable yet on what can be passed down but could it be do to with the breeding do you think as i kmow another owner who has roccos bro and he has been linping on front left leg also just seems a bit ot a coincidence to me

I'm afraid I am paranoid about small dogs and sofas. I once kept two sisters, Zoë and Scarlet, from a Cavalier litter. At 8 weeks, while they were having a hooley, Scarlet jumped off the sofa and landed badly, partially rupturing a shoulder tendon, (the vet said it was a Rugby players type of injury). It took quite a while to fully settle, but the vet warned that there might always be a weakness there. She was a lovely girl, but at six months I let her go as a companion to an elderly lady, where she would be able to have a gentler lifestyle. Since then, though we do have the dogs on our knees, they never actually go on the furniture.
I hope there is better news for Rocco though.

Hi guys quick update rocco is home now and just sprawled out on floor aplarently he would of gotten better at home but would of taken longer but has been sent home with oral supression medicen so luckily was nothing serious vet was very suprised and said what a well behaved and good tempremented dog he was even tho she was causing him pain he didnt flinch just tried going to ny fiance (mum to him lol ) so no walks for my little man for the next few days hopefully after resting him tbos week he shall be back to nornal , thanks for the reploes though guys, sometimes it helps just to have someone to talk to about it

Many thanks from me and the family and Rocco

I am glad to hear that there is nothing seriously wrong with Rocco - good luck with trying to stop him from jumping or doing too much. I would never be able to stop the mini-monster Tikva from doing her Zebedee acts.

It is good that Rocco was OK with the vet although of course he had his mum with him. Rocco I mean, not the vet's mum!

Having to use the home studio (mum's spare room), while she's recuperating!

Oh its going to be a nightmare as havent crated him since day 2 of having him wasnt any need too im quite lucky in the fact i only have a very low setee but the thing we cant stop is him.chasing the girls around so maybe i best ask nanny if shell have kids for the rest of the week lol

@CaroleC and @Malka can you tell me how to post a new thread please. And this is by no means me moaning about you @Challis87 as we're all friends here. But I assume you also don't know how to post one? And I keep getting alerts about your messages. Many thanks to Carol and juli and hope I haven't upset you @Challis87? No offence intended! Sorry.

Ha ha none taken my friend i also apologised for this fact in my first post as i tried to do a nee thread but couldnt figure it out so i would indeed also like to know how to start a nee thread im not sure how this works but says you follow me would you not get a notification when i post ? Its all a little confising lol

I did see you were trying to ask if anyone knew how to start a new thread and would've helped if I'd known how to, but I'm pretty useless myself! Glad your cool with it though and hope the right help comes along, and also the little one is ok too?

Just turned around to find this in the makeshift studio this evening!!!

I have had a look around on the site, and if you click on 'dog forum', then 'dogs by type' you might find your breed there and someone who is more knowledgeable about the breed you have. Hope this helps?

Go to Forum, select your breed by its first letter - F.
Scroll till you get to French Bulldog.
Go to top of page, Start New Thread, pick the type of topic, then type in your thread heading. Type your comment underneath.
Otherwise, go to General Chat, then start new thread as above.

Oops, I thought I had explained how to start a new thread, but obviously had not hit Post. Apologies for not having done so.

Many thanks to @CaroleC for having having explained it.

Lol omg @CaroleC i swear that red box was not there when i was looking the other night thanks @BronsonTheBulldog for asking the question lol

Aw I suppose I can forgive you Juli!

No worries, I'm getting to the age where I forget things too now!

He was asleep until he heard these!

Ahh, the perfect evening.
