Bulldogs World

After losing our mutt we had for 14 years this March, my husband insisted the next dog had to be a bulldog.  He's always wanted one.  For Father's Day, I surprised him with the cutest wrinkly little girl he name Leia.  Of course, I did a ton of research, felt I was knowledgable about their pros and cons, and found a "good" breeder that insisted I could ask her any questions along the way.  Yeah, no response from the breeder after we bought her.  So, I'm seeking advice.

First, about a week after we got her, something happened to her eye.  After research and a trip to the vet, we found out it was cherry eye (again, no response from the breeder when I asked her about it).  The antibiotic cream isn't working, so the vet said the next step is to remove the gland, which I have concerns based on the research I've done.  I watched videos of how to "pop" this babies back into place, and it doesn't work.  Does anyone have recommendations on next steps?

Second, we are REALLY struggling with house training.  She DOES NOT want to go outside, and understandably so with it being so hot and of course fireworks going off every night.  With my back issues, I cannot keep carrying her outside.  I've tried luring her out with treats, and she just lays there and does not attempt to even move or get up.  Of course she loves to pee on her bed and poop anywhere inside.  It's about 50/50 on bathroom habits.  Sometimes I can get her go outside and other times she just runs to the door.  Tried putting her on her harness and leash, and she hates both (not leash trained at all).  I need help!  How do I motivate her to follow me outside and actually use the bathroom.  Praise/treats has been used, and my patience is wearing thin.  She is even more uncooperative when I get upset with her. Ugh...

Tired and running out of paper towels, please help!
