Clomicalm, a new anxiety drug from Novartis, can help calm your anxious French Bulldog if you don’t have enough consecutive hours to work on behavior modification. Clomicalm is designed especially for dogs with separation anxiety.  Dogs are given a daily dose to relieve some of their anxiety, making it easier for them to learn improved behavior.  Medication can be discontinued once the new behavior is established.  As with any drug, visit your veterinarian to ensure the medication is appropriate for your specific French Bulldogs.

Taming the trauma
Dealing with separation anxiety differs than dealing with problem behaviors. First, leave your anger at the door. Punishing will not fix the problem–it will create a bigger one.  Once the association of your absence and return become linked to punishment, anxiety increases. There are many different ways you can help your French Bulldog deal with fear. Your goal is to establish in your dog’s mind that you can be trusted to return.  Practice departures can be done with a sit and stay command.  Have your pet sit and stay while you move from one place to another. If obedient, reward your French Bulldog puppies with treats.  If anxiety resulting in disobedience results, try again for a shorter time and distance.  Once you find a comfortable distance that works, even if it’s moving from the living room to the dining room, slowly increase the time and distance.

When you leave, are your French Bulldog puppies in utter turmoil?  Is your pet’s demonstrative behavior of deep, abiding affection manifested destructively?  If traditionally your dog is a well-behaved when you’re home and only turns maniacal when being with you isn’t viable, then your French Bulldog friend is probably suffering from separation anxiety.

Estimations of 10-15 percent of the canine population experiences some type of separation anxiety whose cause is linked to a dog’s natural instinct to be part of a pack.  Numerous preventative and behavior modifications can be employed to help your lonely French Bulldogs.  It’s deserved since she acts out because of longing for you, the owner.

The difference between separation anxiety and bad behavior is readily perceivable: pets with separation anxiety will only act out when they are unable to be with

their owners. In severe cases, this conduct is acted out even when owners are in another room with the door shut.  Common ways of acting out aren’t only manifested through destructive behavior, excessive barking, house soiling, escape attempts, loss of appetite, inactivity, sadness or depression, and psychosomatic disorders such as diarrhea, vomiting, and excessive coat licking are all symptomatic of this distress.  A hallmark indicator of separation anxiety disorder is having your French Bulldog puppy closely shadow you when you’re together.

Emergency Heat Stroke Treatment for French Bulldogs

DO NOT try to force your French Bulldog puppies to drink. His swelling airways can cause any liquid intake in to be regurgitated and possibly aspirated into his lungs.

Hose the Frenchie down with cool water – not cold.

Apply an ice pack to the Bulldog's head, and soaked towels or any other form of fabric to their body.

If at all possible, get your French Bulldogs into a tub of cool water — not cold! In an extreme emergency if cold is all there is, use it.

If none of these methods work, a cool water enema can help to cool the French Bulldog puppies internally. If you induce too rapidly, or with water cooler than a few degrees below body temperature, you can put your Bulldog into serious shock.

As your French Bulldog puppies are panting, the airways are swelling, causing them to pant harder yet again. You need to break this cycle. Children’s allergy treatment Benadryl can be administered by mouth from dropper. Consult your vet in advance, or by phone, for the exact dosage.

Do not stop treatment until your Frenchie’s body temperature is approaching normal. As soon as your frenchies internal temperature has stabilized at a near normal level, transport your French Bulldogs to your vet. Heat stroke can leave permanent damage.

French Bulldogs Health Concerns. pt 2.

Heat Stroke – The Sudden Killer

Every dog is a potential victim of heat exhaustion, but the shorter breathing system of the French Bulldog puppies is what puts them at a higher risk for heat stroke. A shorter airway means less cooling the air which the dog draws into its body. Dogs do not sweat; their only means of reducing built-up body heat is by panting.

Leaving your French Bulldog puppies in a hot car can rapidly take your pet from heat exhaustion into heat stroke. Even on a mild day (75-80 degrees F), the temperature inside a car can max at 130 degrees rather quickly. Leaving a window slightly open will not prevent heat build-up. Leaving your French Bulldogs in a car on a warm day is a risk to the Frenchie’s life.

There are many variables in triggering heat exhaustion; the French Bulldog puppies physical condition, its age, and its acclimatization to heat. An older couch-potato  will have less tolerance to the heat than a young Frenchie that romps outside all day. Both very young  and very old are among the highest risk categories. No matter how well they breathe, or how active they are, are at risk from heat stroke.

French Bulldogs Health Concerns. pt 1.

There are minimal congenital diseases and conditions that French Bulldogs are prone to, though they are still considered the healthiest of the Bulldog breeds. French Bulldogs can suffer from Von Willebrand’s Disease (VWD), a bleeding syndrome similar to Hemophilia in humans. In conjunction to this, French Bulldogs may also suffer from thyroid conditions. Many breeders follow a program of testing younger dogs for VWD. In this program, the breeder tests thyroid again just prior to using the dog for breeding. Please remember to read our article if you are interested in learning different health tips.

As a result of the rather cramped conditions that a French Bulldog puppies flat face creates, one of the most common defects in French Bulldogs is elongated soft or cleft palate. Elongated soft palates can be manifested as anything from a mild condition causing labored breathing to extreme conditions causing the affected dog to pass out from moderate exercise. One of the worst possibilities in French Bulldog puppies affected with elongated palate is passive regurgitation, in which the affected dog vomits up food or phlegm after eating or exercising. Ask breeders if either parent has elongated soft palate, or has ever been operated on for the condition.

Selecting French Bulldogs food. pt 3.

Ingredients are important in the healthy food you choose for your French Bulldogs!
We can see the “best” and “fanciest” list of ingredients on the panel but the food can also be the least cost efficient food as well. There are many products on the market that fulfill both the needs of efficiency for the consumer and efficiency for your French Bulldog puppies. You just have to know how to find them.

Digestibility is also important for your French Bulldogs.
How do we determine digestibility in your Frenchie? By stool formation or your Frenchies condition and energy level. If your puppy is losing weight, moping around, acting hungry and or having light colored stools, your French Bulldogs may not be digesting the product very well.

Is cost a factor to you when choosing a food for your French Bulldog puppies?
Foods that include all of the proper nutrients for digestibility and energy level will be more expensive. The bottom line is to be informed, check out the GA when selecting a food for your French Bulldog.  Call the manufacturer if you cannot find the kcal amount per cup listed on the bag.
