Pug Dog Health Concerns

The Pug is prone to the following major health conditions: Encephalitis - Encephalitis or swelling in and around the brain. Canine Hip Dysplasia - Hip dysplasia is an abnormal formation of the hip socket that, in its more severe form, can eventually cause crippling lameness and painful arthritis of the joints. It is a polygenic trait, that is affected by environmental factors in the production of the final phenotype. It can be found in many animals and occasionally in humans, but is most commonly associated with dogs, and is common in many dog breeds, particularly the larger breeds. The Pug is prone to the following minor health conditions: Elongated Soft Palete - Elongated Soft Palete is the most common breathing disorder. The soft palate is the flap of skin at the back of the throat. If the palate is too long, it blocks the airway making it difficult for the dog to breathe. Stenotic Nares - Stenotic Nares (pinched nostrils) is a common abnormality found most commonly in brachycephalic dogs, which are dogs that have a short wide head. Patellar Luxation - Patellar Luxation is the abnormal shallow groove in the knee so that the knee cap slips n and out of the position, causing lameness. Patellar Luxation is most common in small dogs. Legg-Perthes - Legg-Perthes disease is a disorder of small breeds of dogs. With this condition, the puppy will grow normally until about three months of age. At this time, the ball (femoral head) of the hip joint begins to degenerate. Entropion - Entropion is the inversion of the eyelids, so that they roll inward, often irritating the eye. Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca (KCS) - Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca is the decreased tear production of the eye causing a dry eye and damage to the cornea. Hemivertebra - Hemivertebra is a congenital defect of the spine in which one side of a vertebra fails to develop completely. Skin Infections. The Pug occasionally has problems with the following health conditions: Seizures - Seizures manifest as an alteration in mental state, tonic or clonic movements, and convulsions.
