NWR: Beware when neutering your pug [UPDATED W/ PICS]

My mom and stepfather's baby died today - a 10 month old pug. She brought him in for neutering and he had an allergic reaction to the anesthia. The vet did not warn her that pugs are at greater risk. Sam's picture is in my avatar. He was so sweet and loveable and I hope you all take note of this when you bring your short-faced dog in for neutering.

OMG! I'm so sorry

My vet didn't mention that when I neutered my pug either. Thankfully, she was alright, but I should've been warned of the risk . . .

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Please rethink this. Now that this happened, look what we've found online:

Anestesia concerns
A pug, along with other flat-nosed breeds are not ideal candidates for anesthesia – that is because the risk of death is higher while under anesthesia due to the structure of their face and head. Before agreeing to any surgery on your pug, always confirm that your veterinarian is aware of the specific protocol for bracycephalic breeds – your dogs life may depend on it. Here is an article which may help explain this further.
