gigi Gigi is a sweetheart of a gal who is a little overweight at the moment and needs to lose about 3 to 4 lbs. This pudgy puggy loves attention and to be with her people. She travels well in the car and is quiet in her foster home being no trouble to have at all. Gigi has now been spayed and had some teeth removed. Her nasal passages have also been enlarged during her surgery and, fortunately, she has recovered well from all of that. She does not see out of her damaged right eye and her left eye is highly pigmented causing her vision problems. The bad eye doesn't seem to bother her at the moment so, upon advice from the vet, it will not be removed. She will be seeing an opthamologist for her eyes on March 10th. Gigi also has two luxating patellas graded at stage three or four but we are opting not to have surgery done on her at this time. We are hoping that with losing a few pounds and being able to breathe better that Gigi will have less stress on her bad knees. We will start her on glucosamine to help relieve the joints. Gigi is a happy girl who gets on well with other dogs, cats and kids. Her foster home will work on her diet and walking off those extra pounds. We hope that Gigi's new home will keep her continuous weight management in mind as well.

UPDATE: Gigi has seen the opthamologist and it was determined that the hyper pigmentation is almost always caused by abrasions and small injuries to the bulging Pug eye. Although there is no way of knowing for sure, Gigi's atrophied other eye is almost surely the result of an injury. In order to stop and even reverse the pigmentation in her good eye Gigi will need cortisone eyedrops and a reevaluation in 4 months. She was once more checked over and is good for adoption.
