Apparently there’s been an issue with the 2006 to present day Pug. The American Pug Breeders Association has posted on their website that there is a recall on all of these pugs. There are some major defects in them such as “convulsive respiratory failure, soft palate suppuration, corneal ulcers leading to sudden deliquescence of the eyeballs, catastrophic lung collapse, ingrown ribs, diabetes, patellar luxation, encephalitis, Lou Gehrig’s pug’s disease, impacted hips, neck dysplasia, tracheal fissures, morbid obesity, cranial arthritis, and leakage of the anal sacs. In addition, due to strong allergic reactions to almost all medications, 97 percent of pugs are untreatable.”
The APBA is mailing out cardboard boxes so that the Pugs can safety be returned to the APBA. It’s also advised that you visit this web page to learn more about this Pug recall.
