Answer

Hi – thanks for your email Nancy. BDLD is a common abbreviation that stands for Big Dog/Little Dog – referring to a dogfight. It is commonly used for any type of dogfight injury.

A couple articles that might be helpful to you are Dogfight and What Do Those Abbreviations Mean?

Best of luck!
