What Can We Do For Our Pug That Has "Star-Gazing" Spells?
Q: We adopted a Pug and were told that she was prone to "star gazing" and we have noticed a spell or two every day that lasts about 5 seconds-10 seconds. What can we do for her?
A: Since you have had your pug has she had routine blood work done? If not, your pug should have this done as well as a blood test for a liver shunt. While the star gazing could be indicative of a neurological problem it could also be behavioral and nothing to worry about. If her blood work is completely normal you may wish to have her examined by a veterinary neurologist.

My 13 year old pug Lovey,has recently been showing very aggressive behavior toward our male boxer 9 months old whom is very loving and wants to lick and clean her. she taunts him and will fly in absolute rage unprovoked on him, he weighs 62lbs, he does not hurt her. she seems to focus only on him not our female boxer his sister. Why?
