I have a 10mos. old English Bulldog and he has developed a moist skin irritation and/or minor yeast infection in the facial fold under one of his eyes. This problem is quite common among the breed. I wanted to find out if anyone knows what type of ointment or solution can temporarily be used to treat it until I take him to the vet next weekend? Thanks for your opinions.
Peace on Earth has already given you the correct answer:
as a groomer this is the response I have been trained to give many owners with this same question,
"English bulldogs are prone to developing yeast infections within the folds of their face, for this reason owners should prevent the bacteria build-up by wiping out the folds via the use of a warm, damp cloth daily. When signs of an irritation or possible infection occur, continue to clean the folds out in the same manner so long as it does not cause the dog any obvious discomfort, and of course speak to your vet about these types of concerns as soon as they arrive to avoid any major skin irritation."
You are a step above most of the owners I’ve already spoken to about this as you already are aware that this is a common problem and you know to take your dog to the vet for it. Many owners I’ve known will wait until the skin within the folds of their dog’s face will be completely raw and infected, then the owner brings the dog to the groomer to be cleaned expecting that the smell from between the folds will magically vanish after a bath, of course by this point the groomer can only refer the owner to a vet because the skin irritation has become a major medical problem.
Good on you for researching your dog’s specific care requirements and loving him enough to seek proper medical care, you are a step above many others on this forum!

I haven’t heard of "Ole" English Bulldog before so i was just wonder what the difference between them are.
the "olde" english bulldog has more wrinkles… believe it or not, it is actually a newer breed than the regular "bulldog"!
the original bulldogs didn’t have a whole lot of wrinkles, and they weren’t particularly brachiocephalactic (spelling?) they were rather short, stocky dogs, who had large heads and jaws, and were VERY game. the wrinkles and bowed legs were bred into them mostly after they were no longer used for sports like bull baiting.

I have always wanted an English bulldog and finally my fiance and I have decided to get one. I understand that bulldogs have lots of health issues but I was wondering if there were any signs to look for before purchasing a puppy.
I don’t have an English Bulldog, but my best friend has had three. My advice would be to check out the breeder, check out the facitilities, are the dogs nice and clean? All the dogs should appear lovable and very sociable. Take a look at the parents, ask to see the pups parents health certificates and vet records, ask or the vets number and give him a call. (Any reputable breeder, despite the dog breed should have NO problem giving you this info.) Also, a good breeder will give you 24-72 hours to get the pup checked out at your own vet and if there are any expensive or life threatening conditions, a good breeder will offer to pay for them, OR replace the puppy. Hope this helps, and good luck with the puppy search! English Bullies are some of the sweetest and most adorable dogs. (other tha APBT’s that is. lol!)

Is it unhealthy to have a 75 pound bulldog? Dylan and Cole Sprouse have one but I know that that’s very unnormal for a bulldog? What do you think?
The avredge bull dog weighs 53-55 pounds. You should really ask your vet and do what he/she thinks.

I have a Johnson American bulldog that just recently had puppies and lost over 30 pounds in the process. I was wondering what I could be doing for her to gain her weight back quickly because I do not want her getting sick because of her weight loss. What should I do?
Thirty pounds sounds like a dangerous amount for a dog to lose during pregnancy/whelping, even for a larger dog like an American Bulldog. I would suggest a vet visit to make sure nothing is causing the weight loss.
