Question

i imagine there are bacteria around the bulldog nose,HOW CAN I STOP THIS? thank you in advance, luz.

Answer
Hi Luz;
The JR is grooming nd taking care of his friend.
You could wipe the dog's face and keep the drainage and saliva wiped off, ansd spong bathe it with a cloth wet with just clear water.
Dogs will also lick wounds.
The dog's mouth, if it is a healthy dog, is too warm for some bacterias to grow, so they actually clean and sterilize it a bit when they lick it.
That discharge in the wrinkles can cause some serious problems if the skin stays wet too long.
Give the JR some help grooming the Bulldog.
