English Bulldog “Screw Tail” Care
Hey there English Bulldog lover,
Today we wanted to share a little about English Bulldog ‘Screw Tails’ and how to take care of them. Our little girl Noble (our 12 month old bully) has a ’screw tail’ and we learned from Jan Oswald and her Healthy Bulldog E-book that we really need to stay on top of cleaning it to make sure she doesn’t get a Yeast infection.
So far we haven’t had to clean Noble’s screw tail every day but you may need to depending on your English Bulldog.
It’s important to clean all the little folds so your bully doesn’t get an infection. We use regular, non-scented, alcohol-free Baby Wipes to clean her tail and they work great. You can pick these up at any supermarket.
Regular cleaning will keep the yeast problems at bay and keep your English Bulldog healthy and happy.
All the best,
Kyle and Trinity

Definitely true. It’s something I think a lot of Bully owners don’t think about since you don’t usually have to worry about it with most breeds. I think that cleaning the tail and the folds on the face are the biggest issues (although I’ve heard of some losing dogs because they aren’t careful about the breathing issues). Great post!

Our bully has a corkscrew tail, we have tried lots of things to treat it. we clean daily w/baby wipes and have applied different meds.
it is still red and irritated and because of that, since he cant scratch it, he chews his feet obsessivly. please help any suggestions?

I’m so excited to have found your blog! My husband and I have an English bulldog puppy named Watson. He’s 5 months old and just recently had surgery for cherry eye & is stuck in a cone for a few more days. (Please feel free to check out our blog as I have pictures/video of our “little boy” Watson!)
All of your information was very useful and interesting. Please continue to post! I’d love to read & learn more!!!
Thanks,
Lauren
