Benson does not feel well. I think he ate something that upset his stomach. He keeps burping and he looks very very sad:

Benson's getting the big chop on Friday. Sorry about yr balls, bud.
― wolf kabob (ENBB), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:32 (twelve years ago) link
Seriously tho I am a tiny bit nervous because the first pug my parents ever got died after getting anesthesia for a minor op and a small part of me is worried Benson's going to die too. ;_;
― wolf kabob (ENBB), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:33 (twelve years ago) link
nooooo! he'll be fine. good luck little dude!

you know, you don't necessarily have to anesthetize him for that operation. apparently it doesn't hurt that bad.
― the late great, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 22:16 (twelve years ago) link
i mean if it were ME i would be like KNOCK ME THE FUCK OUT but my vet was telling me it was about 50/50 as far as customers deciding to go with anesthesia or not
― the late great, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 22:17 (twelve years ago) link
Good luck, Benson!!

i well know this fear about anaesthetics but he will be fine, the drugs are much better and safer than they used to be. harry's vet has finally managed to convince me not to worry so much. good luck benson<3

Good luck, pugfink!

(That is not mean to imply Benson is a fink, more that he is Batfink-like in things not hurting him. Maybe didn't work so well as a diminutive. Hm.)

*meant
Jesus.
my dog ruptured his cruciate ligament for the second time in six months (his other hind leg, the first one healed up very well) so he is back to living in a baby pen for the next six weeks after surgery last friday, so tell benson things could be worse.
i think benson probably is a fink which is fine by me.

Aw, thanks everyone. I know a little fink who appreciates it all very much.
Estela - your poor little guy! I hope he heals up quickly.

Ball Chop 2012 is a no go!
Vet just called and I nearly had a heart attack. Everything is OK but it nearly wasn't.
I didn't really get all the details but they started with the anesthesia and then he started to cough and was having trouble breathing and then got so worked up that the vomited and while doing so inhaled some into his lungs at which point his tongue turned blue and the vet was like, yeah, we're not doing this today.
He's fine and resting there until later when we can pick him up.
― wolf kabob (ENBB), Friday, 18 May 2012 15:42 (twelve years ago) link
Is this something well known with pugs and anesthesia?
― StanM, Friday, 18 May 2012 16:42 (twelve years ago) link
(Good to hear he's OK, obv)
― StanM, Friday, 18 May 2012 16:43 (twelve years ago) link
Stan -I don't know, really. I'm glad too. :)
― wolf kabob (ENBB), Friday, 18 May 2012 17:34 (twelve years ago) link
well their noses are kinda short
― the late great, Friday, 18 May 2012 17:40 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah I mean it probably does have something to do with that but I don't really know. I hadn't heard anything about pugs not being great with anesthesia in general. Except I guess for Ling Ling my parents' pug who died under it but that was a heart thing not a breathing thing. I just want it to be 4 so I can go get him. Someone's gonna get extra treats tonight. Not like he doesn't get extra treats every night but, you know.
― wolf kabob (ENBB), Friday, 18 May 2012 17:45 (twelve years ago) link
poor bbb<3, so glad he is okay.
― estela, Friday, 18 May 2012 21:44 (twelve years ago) link
and i hope you are okay too, these little bandits are terrifying when they're not well.

Fink? Please to define, since I assume you all aren't using it in the dictionary terms (fink/fiNGk/ Noun: An unpleasant or contemptible person, in particular. Verb: Inform on to the authorities).
Poor pup, I'd say he's a hero.
― EDB, Monday, 21 May 2012 08:12 (twelve years ago) link
Woah, weird - that animal century artist friended me on instagram recently. Eerie.
Lil man has a urinary tract infection (he was peeing blood :/) AND an ear infection. He's got meds now so hopefully he'll start feeling better soon. I just feel bad that I can't explain it to him. It must be uncomfortable and confusing.

sorry about ur mendelian sinuses, stay noble bens
(rude, mea culpa. duder's ear tubes are probably p tight, the drops will probably work (abx i assume). serious q: was he scratching or jabbing at his ear? kids do that, and pups are basically children in the using-your-words sense (terrible), so i'd be interested to know)
IANAV-ian
― catbus otm (gbx), Thursday, 7 June 2012 03:23 (eleven years ago) link
Yep - he was scratching at it like crazy last night which is what made me ask the vet to check it. I have heard that about babies how they'll poke or pull at their ears and that's what made me wonder about his tbh. They did give him ABX (shot for the UTI and drops for the ear) so hopefully he'll be a lot better soon.
― wolf kabob (ENBB), Thursday, 7 June 2012 03:28 (eleven years ago) link
babies (and all lower animals) really are the worst at relating their problems. you can't just poop your pants every time something goes wrong, this isn't mars
(pooping when you didn't want to poop = denmark is rotten, you never wanted this)
what is the deal with his kidney stone?
