Bulldogs/sick puppy

Expert: Christine Puetz - 5/7/2009

Question
My puppy has bright green mucous coming from his nose as well as very weepy eyes, he is a 5 and 1/2 months old english bulldog. he still has a good appetite and is drinking lots of water, but sometimes his breathing is layboured.

Answer
Olena,

You need to take your puppy to your vet. I think he needs antibiotics. They may be able to give him a breathing treatment that will get some antibiotics down into his lungs.

Anytime you have a discharge that is not clear, you should are need of medical care. Respiratory problems can be very serious for bulldogs.

Comment	Thank you very much for your timely response as well as your advice, when we have the flu we don't always need to go to the doctor but when it's a dog they can't exactly tell you what is wrong and so you don't always know wether a vet appt. is nessessary. Thank you so much, he will see the vet tomorrow!
