So Duke's health the last few weeks hasn't been so great:
lost a little weight, little bald spots, upset stomach, ear infection, etc...
Prescribed: medications for above....
so, to ease you into his current situation lets suppose this:
Rotten people have maggots in them.
The very most rotten of them are full...
so full the start to actually leak...
...yup: maggots.
Now, if your still with me, get this:
I come home to let a rotten little dog out of his cage and I find:

he's full of maggots.
Rotten little dog!
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3194/2822861887_95582bc774.jpg?v=0)
...but seriously (it's hard for me to do ;D )
it's a condition called "Cherry Eye" that Pugs (-and derivatives) could get
where some little eye gland, can, randomly, pop out.
He doesn't know or care that it's happened. -same old goofy hyper Duke! [bacon]
So ...once he's done with his CURRENT medications (if not any better, of course)
Under the blade for Duke.
He says if Corey's tough and can do eye surgery, so can he! [thumbsup]
So tonight me and pooper are havin' a beer [beer] <---(he's on this side)
Oh man... where do we send the "get well soon" bacon baskets??
get well soon Super Duke [bacon]
Sorry to hear, but at least you have the course of action to get him feeling better [thumbsup] [beer]
Get well Duke!
+1 get well Duke--lotsa bacon thoughts your way buddy. [thumbsup]
Crikey! No Bueno... Hope that thing goes away without surgery!
Tell him I got dog bisquits for the DUKE when he recovers.
Chin up Duke, we'll see you soon.
cdc
DAYUM! That's almost one for rotten.com!
I hope all goes well and we see a smiling, happy Duke back on all fours and scootering around town soon!
That maggot infestation has got to seriously cut down on the babe-to-puppy-magnet-factor.
That is weird! Hope he heals quickly [thumbsup]
Sounds no good......hope he gets better soon! :P
whoa! it's an eye-hemroid!!
:P Poor Duke ! Cyclonette's family had pugs and apparently this is common - glad you are having it looked after - will Duke have to wear one of those cones on his head ? been there done that ( well not me personally - my dogs) !
rub some dirt on it!
cory's wasn't really the same i mean voluntary, *** had drive him around. plus he took like a month off work. [laugh]
i am sure duke is much tougher than that.
get well buddy! [bacon]

My dog is wearing one of those cone things - tied to her collar because she got the first one off and chewed it up........she's really pissed off right now. :P
Rich D - let us know if you need any help after Duke's surgery!

When's this surgery thing goin down? ???

I'm thinking I'll try to schedule it for next Friday (the 12th)
Pumping him full of antibiotics for his ear now... should be done by then.
I don't want to put him under before he is 100% (since it's not critical for his health, it's just an appearance/cosmetic thing)
Dr. Gully's office (Sublet/Cooper) has been
really good to him...
I'm sure it would be fine anyway...
...but if something didn't go right and I didn't wait a little...
well... I would have a hard time dealing with me. ;)
I hope he'll be 100% before the HC ride [thumbsup]
I was wondering about the HC....dogs usually heal pretty quick though.

If I have to cremate him and tote an urn -HE'S GOING!
;D
...just kidding about the cremation thing. ;)
And, yeah, he's young (he'll be "1" on the H.C. trip)
I remember when I was young... I'd skin my knee and just about watch it heal back.
Now I limp. :-\

Duke actually plays well with others...
I was a little concerned when he wanted to play with Desmo (LYD's Yorkie/Shitzu mix)
because Desmo was less than three pounds... but he did good. [thumbsup]

He might make it to a party someday, he wont be riding on any bikes though [laugh] he mama would kill me [laugh] [laugh]. Niko weighs about 7lbs, hes not one of the toy yorkies but hes still a little guy.

We are finally done with the cone thing at our house. We all had beat up legs from our dog running into us over and over again with that plastic cone. Good luck with Duke! :P
