Question by mrtupac21: Why has my 13 1/2 year old male american eskimo dog continusally have seizures all of a sudden?
He has had about 5-6 seizures in the last month and a hlaf…he has no other significant health problems with him besides minor arthritis and the vet said there is nothing that he can tell that is causing the seizures. This is a very saddening situation.
I have taken him to the vet after he had 3 seizures in 24 hours and the vet said he cant tell what is causing them and can do nothing about it.

Question by Halcyon: Does anyone have an American Bulldog?
I have an American Bulldog who is three years old. For the past couple of days he hasn’t been eating as he normally does. He leaves his breakfast alone and barely touches it when it comes to dinner even when we add in a little bit of his dinner portion (rice and some other stuff). Today he left his breakfast alone again and didn’t even touch. It came to about seven o’clock PM so we decided to throw out that food and give him plain rice. He ate that.

Today he also began to have some trouble getting up after he sat or laid down. He can barely jump anymore either. When he first begins to walk he has a little trouble but then afterwords he walks fine with a little bit of a shake in his hind legs.

I’ve researched a little bit online and saw that the American Bulldog breed is affected by hip dysplasia. My mom is going to take him to the vet to see what is wrong tomorrow.

Does anyone have an American Bulldog? Has your dog been through this? We take him on walks whenever we can and we have a yard as well that we play with him in. Could it be his diet or should he be taken out more?

American Bull dogs are big dogs and they are prone to hip dysplasia, you should have him checked out by the vet, best of luck. Oh, and I have an American Pit Bull Terrier

Give your answer to this question below!

We have an American Bulldog who is going on two years old. A few months ago I noticed her getting up slowly, and recently she has been favoring her right hind leg. She is pitiful. I felt around seeing if any spots were tender. I couldn’t find any on any part of her leg. We think it may be her hip. Everything I have found says hip dysplasia is genetic. Can it be caused by something other than genetics? Does this sound like Hip Dysplasia? She became pregnant on her first heat. Could that have anything to do with it? Please help.. I’m worried about my dog.
