When we think of Fadou, our first impression is this:
such:
And this:
The thick look, the fleshy body, the big eyes that will pretend to be pitiful, all reveal two words: dumb and cute. Fadou also quickly jumped to the top of the list of pet recommendations with his super cute appearance. Many friends when recommending the breeding method are nothing more than the following reasons: "love to eat but not gluttonous", "sleep for a long time, do not love to move, do not dismantle the house, worry-free", "thick personality". In fact, these statements can not be said to be wrong, can only say that everyone still has some half-understanding of the breeding, as a shoveler who has been breeding for two years, today I will talk to you about it: it is not easy to raise a good fadou. At least it's not as easy as it's said on the Internet
Bulldog (English name: bulldog) is an animal of the canine family, a subspecies of domestic dogs, native to The United Kingdom, originated in the 19th century, one of the most effective dog breeds in the dog. Until 1835, when England banned the introduction of bulls, it was a very common breed. Since then, after selective cultivation, the personality has gradually become more elegant. There are French Bulldogs, English Bulldogs, Dutch Bulldogs, American Bulldogs and other types.
One of these classes of French bulldogs, French bulldog, originated in France. The ancestors were English bulldogs, especially the erect ear toy bulldogs. Around 1860, many toy bulldogs flowed from England into France, crossed with other breeds of dogs in the area and eventually became the Small, Flat-Headed, Rose-Eared or Bat-Eared French Bulldog. There are many theories about its origins, the most powerful of which is that in 1860, many bulldogs in England as play dogs were sent to France, mated with pugs and terriers, and gave birth to such dogs. At that time, this kind of dog was loved by noble ladies. In 1990, bat ears and rose ears were born, with bat ears as the standard type. In 1868, a small bulldog appeared in Paris, which was the earliest French bulldog. In 1871, when the Château de Paris was surrounded by Prussians, the dog was already popular in France. The French Bulldog was first exhibited in 1889 and quickly attracted attention and love. Edward VII was a great lover of the breed.
Dear shovelers, don't be deceived by the fleshy size and thick demeanor of the Law Dou, in fact, the Law Bucket is a kind of "squeamish" dog, in the breeding process, it is easy to have some of the following problems.
1. Fragile stomach: Fadou is a dog with a very fragile stomach, starting from the milking period, each step of feeding needs to be careful and cautious. When the lactation period begins to switch to puppy food feeding, It is easy for Fadou to vomit and thin out because it is not suitable for the composition of dog food, and more seriously, it will refuse to eat. It was hard to carry through the milk period, to the adolescent stage of the Fadou, I thought that the dog body at this time should be the most robust, but the result will still give you a small "fright" for various strange reasons - eating too fast is easy to vomit, cold will also vomit, and even eat too much meat to digest and vomit. Xiaobian's law bullfighting bull, once ate too quickly, twice a night vomited, scared to quickly carry to the veterinarian, was told by the veterinarian, just eat too fast without digestion. Regarding the fragility of the gastrointestinal problem of Fadou, there is still no literature that can write a standardized answer to explain the reason, and after consulting a veterinarian, it can only be concluded that Fadou is a purebred dog, because of the relationship between purebred genetics, the intestinal function is not so perfect. At the same time, due to this special intestinal function, Fadou is actually not suitable for eating some dog food with plant fiber, and most of the dog food we can buy on the market contains plant fiber components. Therefore, after some Fa Dou have been eaten, it will cause gastrointestinal discomfort. People who have not raised Fa Dou feel that Fa Dou is fat, and the body should be very strong and very good to raise, only those who have really raised it know, and they really vomit and thin out without a word.
2. Nasal shortness of breath: Fadou belongs to the short-nosed dog, as the name suggests, the nasal cavity is relatively short. Compared with long-nosed dogs, the most serious problem caused by the short nasal cavity to the Fadou is poor breathing. This is also one of the problems that worries the shoveler the most in daily breeding. For example, when sleeping, most of the fa dou will be like humans, snoring, and in the process of daily dog walking, especially in the summer, the short-nosed dog fa dou due to the short nasal cavity, the breathing air into the nasal cavity can not be cooled through the long respiratory tract, it is easy to cause heat stroke of the fa dou. There are also problems with breathlessness and shortness of breath after strenuous exercise, because of the short nasal cavity, the Fadou may also be breathless. In addition, short-nosed dogs are not allowed to delay the plane, that is, they are worried about accidents caused by breathing problems, so the shoveler will have one less plan in the choice of taking the dog out.
3. Third eyelid prolapse: Many people like Fadou for the first time, all because of its cute and bright eyes, but what many novice shovelers don't know is that there is a common disease that plagues Fadou, that is, "third eyelid prolapse". Many novice shovelers may be unfamiliar with this term, but when you find that the corners of your eyes are red and even swollen and protruding, you need to be vigilant, whether it is a precursor to the third eyelid prolapse. Let's talk in detail about this common disease in Fa Dou.
The third eyelid, also known as the transient membrane , is a half-moon conjunctival fold located in the inner corner of the eye , with a spherical (inner) concave surface and a convex eyelid ( external ) convexity. The third eyelid is supported by a flat T-shaped cartilage. The t-arm is parallel to the free margin of the third eyelid, and its rod is embedded at the base of the third eyelid gland. The third eyelid gland is connected to the orbit by fibrous tissue that restricts the movement of the gland and prevents protrusion. Glandular secretions reach the surface of the bulbous conjunctiva through multiple catheters, producing a watery tear film of 25% to 40%, which is involved in the protection of the cornea, the removal of foreign bodies on the surface of the cornea and immunity. There is no muscle in the third eyelid, and the eyeball is only passively moved when it is pulled by the eye muscle.
Third eyelid gland prolapse refers to an eye disease in which the glands located on the sphere of the transient membrane hypertrophy, flip outwards across the free margin of the transient membrane, and detach from the inner horn of the eye, also known as cherry eye. The exact cause is unknown. Congenital defects or hypoplasia may result from attachment of connective tissue between the base of the gland and periorbital tissue or between the gland and cartilage. Can occur in all breeds of dogs, but is more commonly found in American cocka, Maltese, French bulldog, Buckidoo, Beagle, and more. Third eyelid prolapse can cause tears and blurred vision, and if not treated in time, it will eventually develop from one eye to both sides. Causes severe eye problems and even blindness.
4. Skin disease problems: The coat of the Fadou is relatively short, and the hair that covers the skin is also short and thick. Therefore, the protective function of the skin is not as strong as that of some long-haired dogs. When outdoors, shorter hairs cannot isolate the heat of summer or the cold air of winter like long hair, so Fadou is easily sunburned or frostbitten in extreme weather, causing various skin diseases. In the spring and summer when there are more mosquitoes, because the coat is shorter, when playing in the grass, it is very easy to be bitten by mosquitoes and parasites, causing skin diseases.
1. Sensitive and jealous: As a specially bred "companion dog", Fadou's mind is very sensitive and delicate, and when accompanying his family, he can show extremely gentleness and patience. But because of this, Fadou's jealousy is also relatively strong, if the owner snubs it for a long time, and even shows affection in front of another foreign pet in front of Fadou, Fadou will show anxiety and uneasiness. Moreover, as a companion dog, if you are alone for a long time and play with no one to play with it, it may also lead to depression and separation anxiety.
2. Aggressive: The belligerence mentioned here does not mean fighting against humans. As a companion dog, under hundreds of years of excellent breeding, the genes of The Fadou have been very stable, and they can show strong obedience and intimacy to humans. But when going out, the shovelers must remember to tie a rope to their own Fadou, because Fadou will be very excited to see other dogs, showing the attitude of wanting to play and fight. Moreover, the strength of the Fa Dou was very large, and the sudden burst made many shovelers overwhelmed.
But you want to raise the novice shoveler, don't be frightened by these conditions, accept this correct feeding guide, and solve the above small conditions little by little ~ let you have a healthy and sticky little law bucket!
Don't let Fadou suddenly eat a lot of food that has not been eaten before, and foods that may cause it to have indigestion. Especially when preparing to change other brands of dog food for Fadou, the food exchange period should be longer than other dog breeds, and it is not impossible to change from the "seven-day grain exchange method" to the "ten-day grain exchange method", so that the gastrointestinal tract of the Fadou can slowly adapt. In the selection of dog food, look more at the ingredient list, and dog food with a high proportion of plant fiber should not be eaten by Fadou. Usually, you can feed some yogurt to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and enhance gastrointestinal function. There are also snacks that do not know the specific ingredients should not be rushed to feed, can be replaced with boiled or steamed chicken breast, chicken breast is the chicken body with the smallest fat and the lowest calories. It is rich in protein, which helps the dog's muscle growth and improves the dog's metabolism, promotes the burning of fat, and also contains the antioxidant "imino peptide" component, which helps inhibit cell damage as well as the large production of reactive oxygen species. At the same time, due to the short hair and poor warmth function of the Fa Dou, the hair on the stomach is particularly sparse, so the shoveling officers should pay attention to keeping the Fa Dou stomach warm, otherwise the stomach and intestines may also lead to vomiting and thinning. If necessary, you can put on small clothes for The Fadou to keep warm.
Wearing clothes can effectively keep the stomach and intestines warm
Due to the short and narrow nasal cavity, there will be various breathing problems, and the current solution to this problem is to artificially widen the nasal cavity of the Fadou through surgery to maintain smooth breathing. At present, this technology can also be used in the exotic shorthair cat (Garfield), a flat-faced cat breed. It can artificially solve 80% of the problem of poor breathing. However, since this technology has not yet been widely popularized and is more expensive, the shovelers can choose according to their own physical condition.

Third eyelid prolapse is a common disease of many fadou, in daily activities, the shoveler should observe the eye state of his dog more, if the corner of the eye is found red, bulging out, should be taken to the pet hospital in time to ask the doctor to judge the treatment. Initial eyelid prolapse can be treated conservatively with anti-inflammatory eye drops. When it is found that the situation is already serious, the doctor needs to judge whether surgery is needed. If conservative treatment is adopted, follow-up activities should pay attention not to let your dog be too emotional and maintain a relaxed mood. In short, this disease is not serious, even to the extent that surgery is needed, in the eyes of doctors, it is only a small operation, but it requires the shovelers to be extra careful, observe the state of their own legal fighting, and do not delay the treatment to the extent that surgery is needed.
Because of its short hair, it is easier to be bitten by mosquitoes and parasites when playing in the grass, which can cause rashes and skin disease problems. Therefore, after seeing that there are small red bumps and other bite marks on the dog, it is first necessary to judge whether the dog should be dewormed outside the body, whether it is a skin disease caused by its own reasons or a skin disease caused by external reasons, which should be judged by the shoveling officers. The second thing we need to do is to give the dog an in vitro deworming on a regular basis every month, minimize the number of times to play in the wet land, and if the body is wet, it should be dried and dried in time. Like the soles of the feet of the Fa Dou, the sides of the hip bone are all areas that are prone to skin diseases.
As a companion dog, in fact, Fadou also needs the company of us humans. Don't ignore their love for humans, usually when they are together, interact with dogs, play, they will be very happy.
Writing here, I would like to tell the story of the small family method bullfighting, as the best evidence of the last article: the cow and cow is a law bucket that I adopted from a friend's house, and before I adopted it, it had been abandoned and retired twice by others. The reasons for retirement are: open defecation, no way to raise at home. When Niu Niu arrived at my house, he showed a strong fear of being abandoned again, and we followed us wherever we went. And I've never at home.
FaDou is actually very smart, can understand the master's eyes and understand the master's words, and is not as stupid as the Internet rumors are so heartless. So give them more love and care, and they will live happier!
