What does Pug suffer from – how to treat

If your Pug experiences unusual symptoms, they might be indicative of an illness, a temporary problem, or an abnormality. It is important to seek veterinary help, since the symptoms of many conditions often have similar combinations. The following are some symptoms of various diseases and disorders that can signal that your Pug requires medical attention. If you notice one of these symptoms in your Pug, you should take him to a veterinarian immediately.

Hypoplastic trachea

While the specific causes of hypoplastic trachea are unknown, it’s possible that dogs that have certain health issues, such as BAOS, may develop a disorder of the lungs. While it is relatively uncommon in Pugs, the condition can affect your dog. If your Pug’s trachea is abnormal, your veterinarian may recommend a course of treatment. In many cases, there’s no specific treatment for hypoplastic trachea, but you should keep your dog well-supervised.

Entropion

While not painful, entropion in your pug will cause your puppy to rub his or her eyes or to have bloodshot eyes. This condition is very common among giant and sporting breeds, and can be a sign of other eye problems, too. In addition to causing discomfort, entropion can cause corneal ulceration, which can lead to scarring and blindness.

Entropion causes eyelashes to rub against the cornea

A condition where the upper and lower eyelids roll inward toward the eyes is known as entropion. When this occurs, the eyelashes rub against the cornea and cause irritation. Affected animals usually have wet, 'blinky’ eyes. Surgery is sometimes necessary to correct entropion. Fortunately, the condition is usually temporary and puppies outgrow it.

Entropion causes seizures

If you notice your Pug dragging his rear or staggering, you may have seen the signs of nerve degeneration, also known as entropion. While it may not seem painful to the owner, this condition is a sign of aging and can lead to seizures in older dogs. Your vet can prescribe medication to control the symptoms and prevent the progression of the condition. Listed below are some of the possible causes of entropion in your Pug.

PDE (Pug Dog Encephalitis)

PDE in Pugs is a disease that affects the brain. Seizures are a common symptom. They last for a few seconds or minutes, and your Pug will resume normal behavior. Seizures are more severe than the slow progression of PDE, but they still cause symptoms such as disorientation, lack of muscle coordination, trouble walking, confusion, and a stiff neck.

Interdigital cysts cause serious eye issues

While some of the symptoms of interdigital cysts in Pugs will go away on their own, the condition can cause severe problems for the dog’s eyes. Interdigital cysts are a common eye problem in Pugs, but they’re often caused by genetics. Because Pugs’ bones are relatively short, they’re susceptible to orthopedic issues. Fortunately, there are several treatments for this problem.

Skin problems

One of the most common causes of skin problems in dogs is infection, both primary and secondary. Bacterial infections produce swellings and oozing discharge, while yeast infections ooze a discolored substance. Fungi, on the other hand, create odd growths and discolorations, and may spread slowly. In any case, skin problems in dogs should not be ignored. Consult your vet if you notice any of these symptoms.

Obesity

While some people assume that pugs are naturally overweight, there are many consequences of obesity in these small breeds. Pugs are not very active dogs, but they do require proper nutrition. Overweight pugs are more susceptible to brachycephalic syndrome and bone problems. However, this condition can be easily treated. In order to keep your pug healthy and happy, follow these guidelines:

Luxating patella cause dislocation of the kneecap

There are four types of luxation of the patella in dogs. These conditions can lead to pain, dislocation, and inflammation in the joint. While grade 1 luxations can be remedied with surgery, grade two and higher luxations can require surgical intervention. In the case of grade three luxations, treatment will involve rest and physical therapy, such as massage. Besides massage, NSAIDs, and even steroid medications can help your dog recover from the procedure.
