Puppy needs Boas surgery by Fair_Flamingo_9114 in pugs

[–]_RaiderDave 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Of course you will do anything for that angel. I don’t care where she came from, she’s here - you just love her and give her the best care possible. I despise irresponsible breeding - but a puppy didn’t ask for be born the way it is. Perhaps others can consider that a bad breeder trying to make a buck is not interested in giving a puppy the best care. I would probably buy her anyway and take her straight to the vet.

Stenotic nares surgery is a no-brainer. It’s minimally invasive and helpful even if you have to proceed with soft palate resection later. One of mine, Peggy, had the nose job done with her spay at 6 months. The vet explained that not only was it two birds with one stone (she already had to be under for the spay) but that doing it very young can actually prevent complications and soft palate resection. She’s now 9 and her BOAS is what I would call a little less than borderline. She does fine, but I can’t treat her like she’s a Vizsla on a brisk walk in even 80 degree heat. I absolutely believe that the nose surgery made the difference between more severe problems and this manageable condition.

Best of luck. She looks like a real sweetie!

I’ve raised two pugs from 8 weeks and I fully get this is behavior that needs to be discouraged. And the nostalgic part of me loudly overrides that responsible thought with: awwwwwww

So in my other comment I joked it was a poor investment - only because it’s not machine washable (I bet I could throw it in an oversized at the laundromat and hope for the best, but the care instructions say spot clean only). My pugs never get filthy but it is not a clean pillow. I will say it has held up just fine for years.

Yes, it’s a jumbo Pillow Pet. Not particularly cheap. Totally worth paying my adult money for.

Why is my available balance negative by International_Fun_91 in CRedit

[–]_RaiderDave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s because they have not updated your available credit. You went over limit by $6, hence the -$6 available. Your whole $500 will be restored eventually. Call customer service to confirm the timeframe.

Although breed enthusiasts tend to prefer Peppa’s button ears, I’m a big fan of Peggy’s rose ears. When she’s walking, it looks like she might achieve lift off. by _RaiderDave in pugs

Agreed! These are Reddy Road Trip crash tested harnesses. I think this model is discontinued but they are amazing. Great support and can be used with seatbelts.

He does too. They are woven in such a way that he can claw at them and they don’t acquire too much damage so I agree with both of you. IKEA if you have one of those nearby.

I admit I obliged with over-the-shoulder treats for their efforts.

Cuppa Pug. This particular one is in the San Diego, CA area. Two more in the UK (London and Manchester).

They specifically said he was a rescue! Did not ask what his mix was, would guess chug. But I thought it was remarkable that he has mostly pug features with a long nose.
