    The case of Stella’s Pyometra

    December 7, 2024December 7, 2024

    This one was a surprise. Stella’s had more than her fair share of medical issues. Between her BOAS surgery, her IVDD and other various issues, we were really hoping she was over any major medical emergencies. A few months ago Stella became really sick with a pyometra – This is essentially a womb infection and

    Winter care for French Bulldogs – Stella’s Wardrobe

    December 5, 2024December 5, 2024

    Something I really can’t stand is people using the blanket excuse of ‘they’ve got a fur coat, they’ll be fine!’ as an uneducated excuse for not dressing your dog up for winter. French Bulldogs in particular have incredibly thin coats, especially behind their ears and on their legs and tummy. They get really cold just

    Stella’s evening routine

    November 24, 2024November 24, 2024

    At the end of every day I get Stella ready for bed, it’s time for her nightly routine. Keeping her clean, comfortable, and healthy is a nightly requirement, and this routine helps us wind down together before we both head off to sleep. 1. Washing Her Ears One of the first things I do at

    Stella’s BOAS progression – laryngeal collapse

    October 25, 2022October 25, 2022

    It’s been almost three years since Stella’s BOAS surgery. So I guess this will serve as an update on that and where things are at with her now. Perks of the BOAS surgery Since having her surgery in 2019 Stella was doing really well, we were able to take her on walks and adventures with

    The difficulty of brushing Stella’s teeth

    November 15, 2021November 15, 2021

    Because of Stella’s Frenchie face we really struggle with the regular brushing of her teeth. Her short snout and big tongue don’t leave much room for a toothbrush, and even when we manage to get the toothbrush in her mouth it tends to get blocked by skin and her fighting back. We’ve almost completely given

    How we manage Stella’s itchy ears

    October 18, 2021October 18, 2021

    A common issue with french bulldogs is their big ears, they are prone to dirt, mites and it’s usually where Stella’s allergies first manifest. She will scratch them like crazy if she’s having an allergy attack. It’s a recurrent issue and I just wanted to talk about some of the products we use and how

    October 15, 2021October 15, 2021

    When covid rolled in, Terry and I moved to a working primarily from home situation, that hasn’t really changed after everything opened back up. We tend to do a day or two if the office, but more often than not one of us will be in the flat for the full day now. Stella has

    Co-operative Pet Insurance for our French Bulldog

    October 15, 2021December 4, 2024

    When we first got Stella obviously one of the first things we really needed was per insurance. There was no question on whether we should get it or not. With her being a problematic breed we went through a whole bunch of options, and I just wanted to do a quick post about why I
