Bulldog First Aid
Below are a few things that its handy to keep around
the house for your bulldog
Vaseline.
Use this on his nose, on his eye wrinkles, any place you need to
soothe and waterproof but don't need to medicate.
Use it also on the thermometer when you take his temperature.
Plastic Real Lemon
If he gets phlegm in his throat and chokes on it, a couple
squirts of juice from the plastic lemon will help clear it out.
A good rectal thermometer.
Clear Eyes, for irritated eyes
Aspirin.
For minor aches and pains. Most Bulldogs can tolerate aspirin but do
not give any other human pain reliever such as Tylenol or Advil. Buffered
aspirin such as Bufferin is better than plain aspirin and Aspirin is better
than Bufferin. Remember that the dosage for aspirin, like most pain relief
medication, is based primarily on body weight. A Bulldog should never be given
more than one tablet at a time or more frequently than every twelve hours. Some
Bulldogs are allergic to aspirin, so use with care.
Benadryl.
Either capsule or liquid. Use this if the dog is stung by a bee or
other insect, and for minor allergies.
Panalog Ointment.
A good all purpose ointment for minor skin afflictions.
Also good for cleaning wrinkles, tail pockets and ears. Do not put in his eyes.
Bag Balm.

Pepto Bismol.
For minor stomach upset.
Kaopectate.
For minor diarrhea.

Cotton balls.
