Duncan is spending the night at the emergency vet tonight for a suspected bowel obstruction 😭 looks like a corn cob (not his first offense) So needless to say, corn is fully banned from our home. Fluids and careful observation, new imaging in the morning and fingers crossed no surgery. Poor baby is not feeling well at all.
I have a 2.5yr old girl with several major heart defects. The medication worked for a while but I can see she is slowing down. She’s started skipping meals. The noisy breathing is getting even noisier. It just looks likes she is struggling:-( found her sleeping in this odd position today
Has anyone gone through this? Would appreciate any advice on how to decide whether she is suffering due to lack of oxygen, and when I should call it and let her go😥
Hi BM people, I’m considering our next dog and am between a cane corso and bullmastiff. I like that BMs are a bit more outgoing and would be easier to integrate into a home with kids.
I am however concerned about their endurance (or lack thereof). I prefer a dog on the medium to low energy side, but I also really want a dog that I can bring everywhere and I like to go on long walks (like a few miles, nothing too crazy). I know it varies by breeder/genetics but I was hoping to get a sense of the energy/endurance levels of your BMs!

Hello everyone, my neighbor shared this in our building group chat and I’m signal boosting here in case we can find this sweet boy a home! AFAIK he is in Oakland CA, and I have reached out to the shelter to get more details and see if maybe I can foster him myself until we find him a full time home. I can’t adopt since I know these guys need a TON of outdoor and exercise time, and some days I can’t commit to that, but hoping we can at least save this guy. If anyone can rescue, reach out to tailsfromtheh00d on ig or DM me. Thank you!
Soo I found her this morning alone in the woods(I live up in the mountains) she had no collar on so I followed her for 20 Mins wanting for someone or a mom dog to pop up. She was alone. I brought her home and after lots of love and a few treats she is settling in and u am calling her midnight.Anyways, is she a mastiff? Her paws are soo big. It's adorable she walks around like her feet are heavy 😆.
He is a 12 week old Cane Corso/Bullmastiff mix
He is about 30lbs… How big do yall think he’s gonna get?
Ozzy at 117 pounds let's 14 week old wenston win well playing he is the sweetest boy.
This fuzzy squishy ball is great!
I'm searching for reputable breeders and saw Sandhills Bullmastiffs recommended. In their puppy application, they say that females must be spayed before their first heat cycle:
"We require spay/neuter at or before 12 months of age. Sadly many well-intentioned people don't remeber to spay before the first heat cycle (usually around 11 months for a bullmastiff) and suddenly their barely adolescent dog is pregnant by studs of unkown heritage. Spay surgery, while pregnant, is very risky."
Is this a huge red flag? Isn't it important for large breeds to go through at least 1 heat cycle before spaying?
We have almost a year old girl and she is so full of energy, she hardly sits still. She gets big zoomies in the yard, runs up and down the stairs, jumps up and off the couch. I know this energy won’t last (hopefully lol) but as she is getting bigger I want to make sure we are taking really good care of her joints as she is growing. She is 68 pounds right now and we expect her to be around 100 pounds. We had an American bulldog previously with some health and joint problems and we lost her way too early at 6 years old (albeit due to cancer), so it has really been on my mind.
What supplements do you recommend for joint and overall health? She has Dasuquin now but have been considering adding others like an oil to her food. Additionally, if anyone has pet insurance recommendations please let me know. We’re being quoted $120-180 a month right now which is double what we were paying for our American bulldog.
