Question
I have bronchitis, can my 10 month old bulldog catch respiratory infections
(or colds) from me? What are the symptoms of a respiratory infection/cold in
a bulldog? Thank you!

Answer
No, your Bulldog is safe from your respiratory problems.

You will notice a cloudy discharge from a Bulldog's nose and perhaps before that the dog may sound a bit "rattlie" when it breathes. Often you can put her hands on the dog's lung area and actually "feel" the rattle.

Bulldogs are very prone to upper respiratory infections and any sign of one brewing is cause to see the vet right away.
