Pug Goes to the Doctor
Last week I noticed that Pug’s good eye (he completely lost sight in his left eye some time ago) looked swollen with some discoloration near his pupil. So we made a visit to our wonderful veterinarian to get it checked. Pug typically enjoys going to the vet because he loves visiting with people, but as you might imagine he wasn’t as thrilled to get an eye exam.
Patiently waiting for the doctor. “This is gonna be great!”
“You want to hold me? Awesome!”
“Wait a second… that looks like eye drops. Do not want!”
Luckily our wonderful vet staff is patient and caring even when somepuggies are being obnoxious.
Can we talk about that hair? Pug shoots out hair like a porcupine when we get into the exam room! But he did survive getting poked in the eyeball a dozen times to test for glaucoma. Nothing of note showed up on the tests, but his eye was definitely inflamed. He’s on 10 days of steroid eye drops which I hope will clear everything up.

Poor pug! Leo’s not a fan of eye drops either.

Sounds like no fun. I’ve never had eye trouble, and am thankful for that. I wonder if I would prefer eye drops to ear drops as I don’t like those at all.

I prefer eye drops because ear drops get shaken out all over me!

Oh noooo get well!

Poor guy! All that stress will certainly make any dog shed. Eye drops are evil things.

Poor Pug! I cannot imagine that exam was comfortable. I sure hope his eye clears up with the drops!

Hope you’ll be seeing clear soon buddy!

Poor baby, I can’t imagine an eye exam being much fun for a pug.

We HATE going to the vet! Hope you get better soon!

I noticed the hair in the very first shot! Yowza!
Liam the pug is a madman at the veterinarian. Typically, they have to take him into the treatment room in the back, far from me, in order to examine his eyes. Maybe that would work for Pug, too?
But here’s hoping it all clears up and you don’t have to go back!

He wasn’t too bad, just wiggly! Normally I sit back and let them do their thing but he actually calmed down when I went over and held his paw so to speak, lol.

Poor pug, hope his eye feels better soon!
