Infact, because pugs tend to have so many health problems, they can no longer be considered a “typical dog from a health perspective,” according to a 2022 study in Canine Medicine and Genetics.
I did not know this is occuring... I've known too many smashed faced pugs with serious lifelong health issues...
One of them I knew, skittered around a kitchen floor as a puppy... ran into the kitchen island, and his eyeball popped out of the socket, haning on by the optic nerve.
Its owner managed to get it to a vet and get the eye reinserted... and it seemed to kinda still work... but that pug had so, so many other health issues its whole life...
