Coco is a 3 year old female French Bulldog. Coco is a beautiful girl who came into us some time ago after being signed over because she had neck and spine problems. Whilst with us she has had surgery to remove ruptured discs in her neck. Although surgery has been successful Coco will still need to be looked after correctly and care taken to ensure she does not damage her spine any further. She loves all dogs, but would be best homed with a calmer small dog so that there is less chance of any damage being caused to her during play. She should not be running up stairs or jumping.
Coco must always be walked in a harness and should never wear a collar – any pulling could cause problems for her. Her weight needs to be carefully monitored as weight gain could aggravate her spine. She was very overweight when she came in and is now a nice slim active girl. Whilst Coco loves other dogs she doesn’t much like cats so a cat free home for this little lady please. She would like new owners who are around for most of the day as this is what she is used to. She is clean in the house and travels well in the car. Coco sleeps in her crate at night as this ensures she is not jumping about – it would be advisable for this to continue in her new home as it also ensures she has a place to rest if overexcited.
Coco is great with everyone but no small children as they could fall on her accidentally and hurt her. Being a Frenchie – yes she snores!! Not as bad as many as she has had her nose and soft pallet operated on. Because of the surgery Coco has had and her spinal deformity there is a risk that she will develop arthritis when she gets older. Joint supplements, regular exercise and maintaining her weight will all help delay the onset of this. She has been neutered, vaccinated, micro chipped, had nose and soft pallet surgeries and had spinal surgery. Please understand that we are looking for the home that meets Coco’s needs. She is a gorgeous girl who has endured a lot and we want her new home to be the one she spends the rest of her life in. Coco is on foster in Aldershot Hampshire.
