Welcome to rescue Penelope.
Penelope was surrendered because, as a typical bulldog, she plows over all the kids in the home :) She's sweet as can be, but her family was worried about her size with young kids. She's actually a very petite bulldog.
Her vet appt is coming up late July (all vets are super busy right now), but she seems overall healthy. We do anticipate that she will need palate surgery to help her breathe better. She's already been spayed and had entropion surgery.

Miss Penelope is at the vet getting a full work up. She’ll need palate surgery so she can breathe better. Please please start holding breeders to better standards. We need to be breeding bulldogs who can actually breathe! This means a little bit more of a muzzle. A longer muzzle reduces respiratory distress , heat stroke , and aspiration pneumonia. It also improves dental health as the teeth are not crammed so tightly. We must start thinking about the breed we claim to love so much , and it just about what is aesthetically pleasing to us. |
Well my labwork looks good but I have a UTI. I’m on meds now tho. And my palate surgery is scheduled for next month ! -Penelope

Penelope pupdate-
And a pic from when i dropped her off yesterday. She tried to politely say no thank you to going back with the tech She’s been a little nauseous even with meds to help prevent that. Before leaving the clinic she threw up a little blood so we are monitoring her closely. But overall she came through surgery without complications. How refreshing LOL Her urinalysis also looked great- no more bacteria. She’ll be on pain meds and antibiotics for about a week. And lots of animalEO Exhale & Open Air diffused |
Post op palate and nares surgery is no fun. The nostrils crust over , the throat is inflamed , it’s overall a rough surgery. But the outcome is worth it. Penelope is hanging in there and we can’t wait until she’s over this hump and feeling so much better. Please send her some pawsitive thoughts.
