You want to keep your Bulldog happy and healthy, so you have to pay attention to her health issues. A fast trip to your veterinarian or local pet hospital is necessary if any of the following situations occur:

Your Bulldog has been injured in any way. Some injuries aren’t as bad as they look, but don’t take any chances.
Elevated temperature and heavy breathing may mean that your dog is experiencing heat stroke.
Your Bulldog vomits or has diarrhea for 24 hours. Take her to the vet before the condition gets worse!
Your Bulldog refuses to eat for 24 hours. Your Bulldog may be telling you that something is seriously wrong.
You think that your Bulldog has eaten anything poisonous. When taking your Bulldog to the vet, be sure to take along a sample of what you think she ate, so the vet will know exactly how to treat your dog.
