I just got back from the Vet's with Bookie. He started shaking around 3pm today, diareah, not wanting to walk to much. So at 5pm We took him in. After Blood work and X-rays they found that he has a calcium deposit in his Vertibre and so he is in pain from that. That trickles down to all the rest of the symptoms he has as well. He's on medication for the next ten days, for swelling and if that don't work they will have to refer us to an orthopedic Specialist. I hope to god that this works for him and he won't have to go through surgery. French Bulldogs don't do well with Anestesia and I am afraid he won't wake up after. So lets all pray that this medication works and does what we hope. So no more Jumping, Long walks for bookie. I never have taken him on long walks, french bulldogs aren't made for that and that is a big reason (spinal problems) and Arthritic problems with their joints. They are bred for companionship, not sports.
