Cool Bulldog remedies...
Emergency Bland Diet for Sickness:
1 lb. ground beef, 2 cups rice (not instant), 2 cups cold water, 1 teaspoon garlic
powder, mix in saucepan and bring to a boil; boil till rice is cooked; add water if
needed as cooking; cool and feed 1 1/2 cups 2 times a day.
Flatulence:
One or two TBS whole fat yogurt daily, or acidophilus or Beano can help with
Bulldog gas.
Chin Acne:
Use stainless steel bowls at all times. Plastic & crockery harbor bacteria and
cause little chin zits which can lead to infection. Wipe the chin with Listerine then dust lightly with Gold

Shedding:
Add 1 TBS of peanut oil, olive oil, corn oil or salmon oil daily to food. Brush your dog daily.
Allergies:
1 mg. of Benadryl per lb. of body weight 2 times / day.
The pink Benadryl pill or capsule is 25 mg.

cyst.

may be ringworm or staph and need to be diagnosed by a vet.
Head Shakes:
Some bulldogs will experience a bit of hypoglycemia sometimes between meals. A bit of ice cream, cookies or just about

by your vet.
Pain Relievers:
Regular baby aspirin or buffered aspirin are the only ?otc? pain relievers that are safe to give to your dog on occasion. NEVER
give your dog Tylenol, Advil or Aleve.
