Dont know if this will help you... but when we had our deaf Bullterrier.. he would mouth a lot and it would hurt especially cuz at athe time he was a pup wioth needle sharp teeth. I used to use an old method that worked on ferrets... they also mouth a lot. It may sound odd but it worked on my boy......

Delboy came top

Took Derrick and Ethel to the Bullies In Need funday at mablethorpe on Sunday, and entered him into the classes there. I couldnt believe it when he won the puppy class.

I have just had major problems with my Bullterrier Derrick. He had built up an intolerance to poulrty of all things. It took me £600+ at the vets to find out he is fully fit and healthy, no blockages, no organ conditions, nothing. So I changed his diet for the 6th and final time, off anything feath...

WTF I'm quite honestly appalled. If you havent got time for a dog in your life, then tough, go help out at a shelter or something, take the old lady next doors dog or a walk. But taking a dog for a weekend or a few days is disgarceful. Theyre living things not a dvd you can take back to blockbuster,...

Thank you, its nice to have him a little plumper :)

He is on Pro Plan lamb and rice, and he also has half a pound of tripe a day.
He has no tip bits, excpet a couple of crusts of marmite on toast in a morning, and thats it.
He is loads better than what he was, and is filling out lovely.
