he little BUGG (Pug/Boston Terrier).. went to get neutered last week and he almost died! They had to do CPR etc. She brought him home - he appears blind and she has to tube feed him :*( He starting to walk a little, but not too much. I think she said he only weighs about 5 lbs. It's just heartbreaking :(
 
Oh no, that's our worst nightmare! What did the doc say about how he's going to progress? Hopefully there's no permanent harm, physical or emotional.

They dont' know if it's permanent :( She brought him home because it was costing her a fortune and honestly - I think as a nurse I would be able to take care of my dog in re: to feeding him etc. And save many $$$. I was thinking he was over anesthetized, even with humans it can take a few days to metabolize anesthetic if your sensitive.. but at this point, I am just praying for the poor little guy :(
 
What went wrong? I've never heard of that. I thought neutering was usually pretty quick and easy. Seems like if the vet did something wrong, he wouldn't be charging for the continued care. I sure hope the poor guy gets over this and returns to normal!
 
Real sad, I hope he gets better with time. I hate to hear things like this.
 
Poor little thing! I hope he makes it and won't have permanent damage :pray:
 
OMG that is just horrifying.... I could not even imagine.... :*(
 
please don't worry so much- bulldogs only issue is the Bulldog protocol for anesthesia and procedure. I can post it for everyone if needed. But in the case of this poor sweet pup, he is of a small breed who do not do well in many things, the main thing Bulldogs are so fragile about is over heating- and NOT thoroughly cooling them down for long enough .

Yes, please post. I am so scared to get Bella fixed. I don't really like my vet for "bulldog" care. I'm not sure they are that informed, but unfortunately I dont' have anyone close that is good with Bulldogs. Any info I can get that might better inform me to work as a team with my vet and ease my paranoia is much appreciated.
