| Nose job??? what? OK, so today Chloe had a check up in preparation for her spay on Friday. Everything is great, thankfully she has been a very healthy happy pup!
The vet did mention that her nostrils seem on the "smaller" side for a pug. She said it is nothing to worry about now, and may never cause a problem. But she said they can open up the nostrils a bit and if I wanted to do it, they'll do it while she's under for her spay.
I was like, a nose job??? I have never heard of that! Yes, I researched pug before deciding on the breed and I know they are known to have breathing problems. I just had no idea that's how they fixed it. I told the vet I will wait on it as I wanted to talk to her breeder first - not to mention I was kind of afraid to ask how much this would cost (yes, I would do anything for Chloe, but the spay is $430 and I wanted to space out big spending if it isn't necessary)!
So, I had a long conversation with her breeder (who has kept in contact with me and is always there if I need her) and she said none of her puppies has ever had this, and to wait.
Has anyone heard of this? Anyone been through it? How did your dog do? |
