Eu vou dar uma ajuda em relação aos Pugs!!!!!!!!
Common Health Problems
Health problems in Pugs are usually related to their eyes, face and legs, even though other problems might exist. Please remember that every dog is unique and that this is only a list of some of the most common health problems Pugs might experience. And as always, if your Pug is experiencing any kind of health problem, contact your vet!
------ Eye Problems ------
Dry Eye Syndrome
Dry Eye Syndrome is a quite common and potentially blinding condition, which develops due to the decline of tear production in the eye. Treatment consists of drug therapy and surgery.
Bilateral Cataracts
Bilateral Cataracts is recognized by dense spots on the lens of the eye. These spots may cause partial or total loss of vision. In some cases surgery may help.
Entropion
Entropion is a problem caused by the Pug’s eyelashes irritating the surface of the eyeball. This should be treated since it might lead to more serious problems.
Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA)
PRA is the deterioration of the vessels around the retina. This condition usually begins with night blindness in younger dogs, but as their vision deteriorates it can lead to blindness.
Since Pugs have such a short nose and such bulky eyes, they can easily scratch their corneas or even puncture their eyeballs. Therefore, try to keep them away from sharp objects at all times!
------ Breathing Problems ------
Tracheal Collapse
Tracheal Collapse is a narrowing of the windpipe. Symptoms include a cough (especially after exercise) harsh breathing and gagging. Treatment consists of conservative therapy or surgery.
Elongated Soft Palate (ESP)
ESP is the obstruction of the dogs’ airways. Excessive gasping for air and the blocking of the Pug’s vocal box are some of the signs. ESP can be corrected with surgery.
Stenotic Nares
Stenotic Nares is a birth defect where the nostrils are too small and the Pug puppy has difficulties breathing through his nose. This condition puts a strain on the Pug’s entire body and can lead to an enlargement of the heart, tracheal collapse and chronic bronchitis.
------ Leg and Knee Problems ------
Hip Dysplasia (HD)
Hip Dysplasia can be described as a bad fit between the two bones of the hip joint and is caused by malformation of one or the other. HD often causes stiffness in the hind legs, substantial pain and in more severe cases, lameness.
Patellar Luxation
Patellar Luxation or kneecap dislocation occurs when the kneecap slides out of its groove. A Pug with Patellar Luxation can sometimes limp or walk on three legs. Surgery is often the treatment of choice here, since it is a serious health condition.
------ Other Common Health Problems: ------
- Heat Stroke
- Skin allergies
- Obesity
- Arthritis
- Back problems
- Heart disease
Pug Dog Encephalitis
Pug Dog Encephalitis or PDE is an inflammatory disease of the brain that often causes seizures. If your Pug is experiencing seizures, he or she should definitely be tested for this disorder.
Demodectic Mange
Lots of Pugs get Demodectic Mange, a parasitic skin disease caused by a mite and which can cause hair loss and irritation. Demodectic Mange does require veterinary treatment, but it is usually easily cured with a shot and ointment.
Portosystemic Shunt (PSS)
A PSS is an abnormal vessel that allows blood to bypass the liver. As a result, the blood is not cleansed properly. Symptoms may include, but are not limited to, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, hunger for non-food substances, depression and intolerance of protein-rich food.
Please remember that this is only a list of some common health problems that Pugs might experience. And as always, if your Pug is experiencing any kind of heath problem, contact your veterinarian.

Então em que é que ficamos? 
Serão só os Pugs cães com alta incidência de doenças hereditárias? Ou todas as raças, em maior ou menor grau?
Nota: isso traduzido em pt é que era de valor.

"A inveja é a arma do incompetente" Anónimo
como dona de um pug, por isso suspeita, acho que a personalidade do pug é perfeita (n sei se são todas como a minha, mas em principio não devem andar longe), ter esta personalidade dentro de um corpinho mais resistente seria perfeito!!!
Acho que os criadores deveriam "criar" uma nova raça, que fosse apurada apenas pela personalidade e saude de um cãe, sem ligar á beleza e tamanho das orelhas
era tão bom se fosse possivel 
a minha popota dentro de um corpo mega resistente! sou tonta!

O meu Cavalier morreu há coisa de dois meses... tinha 16 anos.WaterMonitor Escreveu:Vou dar já uma ajuda à Dinodane na enumeração de raças que têm problemas hereditários daqueles de fugir: Cavalier King Charles.
Teve problemas ao longo da vida? Teve. Problemas de pele, principalmente, e no fim artroses, e começou a ficar cego e surdo, como qualquer idoso... Mas todos os problemas tinham tratamento e foram tratados. Foi o melhor cão que alguma vez tive <3
Quero com isto dizer... cada raça (e indivíduo) está sujeita a problemas... na minha opinião isso não devia demover alguém de a obter, se é mesmo o que deseja, e se tem os meios para lidar com isso.
Mas o que dajacori pede é um cão: meigo, brincalhão, não muito grande.
Há TANTOS animais fantásticos que correspondem a esta descrição! Se é um pug que queres e tens a certeza, força, pesquisa muito, consulta a lista de criadores do Clube Português de Canicultura, informa-te sobre as ninhadas, reserva.
Mas se qualquer bom cão correspondendo a essa descrição te serve, dá uma olhada na secção de adopções do fórum...
Olha o Hulk: http://www.adopta-me.org/animal.php?sid ... age_type=0
O Bart: http://www.adopta-me.org/animal.php?sid ... age_type=0
Estes bebés lindos: http://www.adopta-me.org/animal.php?sid ... age_type=0

E tantos mais...
