My pug is 10 months old and when we got him at 8wweks old he had an eye infection and an old healed scar. His eye has come back really nasty and the vet is very concerned that he may need an operation to stitch his third eyelid or to go to a eye specialist. Anyone had the same problem. Also is it hiccups when they seem to catch their breath and his neck arches up.i bought him from a champdog breeder but the vet says cos its an old  treatment i cant claim either.

Hi guest, as you have not left contact details I can only reply here, and I think your post may be removed unless you do post an e-mail address or similar, but here goes, hope you manage to see the reply!  First, have you contacted your breeder?  They should hopefully be in a position to give you the best advice.  Pugs are terribly susceptible to eye injury, my bunch 'box' and bop each other in the eye.  it is tremendously important to get Vet treatment as soon as possible for any eye injury, and apply the ointment or drops very frequently.  it is difficult to be more helpful about the eye without knowing what the injury/scar/current problem are exactly.  The usual problem involving the 3rd eyelid is "cherry eye" which looks awful but is easily dealt with by a simple surgery, however, this would not be related to a previous injury.   Please feel free to give more details here, or Private message me. 

The "hiccups" you describe sound like a soft palate.  One of my pugs does this too (as did one of my Am Cockers) it does not cause any problems and is not a cause for concern.
bye
Gwen
