more information on drippy nose of bulldog

Question
Not a question...Just wanted to inform you of something. Saw a question from 9/25/04 asking about drippy bulldog nose. My bulldog had very drippy nose. I took him to the vet. This ended up being diagnosed as an enlarged heart with excessive water retention.  Has to be on water pills twice a day along with a heart pills and blood pressure pills twice a day also.  Life expectancy at this point is anywhere from 2 months to 2 years if not kept cool, medicated and calm.

HI PEGGY
OH MY THIS IS SO BAD FOR THE DOG AND YOU?
MY BULLDOG DID NOT HAVE THIS BUT DID GET PUT DOWN DUE TO LUNGS FILLING AND THE HEART ALMOST DONE OCT 13, HER ASHES ARE ON MY MANTEL NOW.
IF YOUR DOG IS YOUNG ENOUGH TO GO BACK TO THE BREEDER ABOUT THIS OR STILL GIVE THEM A CALL FOR IT IS GENETIC AND ALARM THEM ONE OF THE PARENTS IS PASSING A BAD GENE ON.  ALSO, FIND OUT IF ANY OTHERS HAVE THIS IF THEY TELL THE TRUTH WHICH I DOUBT THAT, BUT THEY MIGHT START TO CHECK ON THIS AILMENT.
MY BULLDOG LIVED TO BE NEAR 12 YEARS OLD, LIFE SPAN IS ONLY 8 HOWEVER, I GIVE FRESH FACTORS ALOT OF CREDIT TO KEEP HER GOING FOR FEW MORE.  MAYBE YOU MIGHT WANT TO TRY THEM, I JUST GOT A $404.00 OF THEM AND BUG OFF, I DO NOT PUT CHEMICALS INTO MY SHPHERDS.  WWW.SPRINGTIMEINC.COM, IT JUST MIGHT HELP TO HEAL SOME OF THIS BUT NOT THE HEART, THIS IS SO SAD.  TRY TO PREPARE YOURSELF AND ENJOY THE TIME LEFT WITH YOUR PET, I  DID.

KIND REGARDS
