Does anyone know anything about Macular Pucker?
Q. If you'd had experience with macular pucker, please let me know about the surgery.
A. macular pucker is another name for epiretinal membrane. It is a wrinkle that forms on the top layer of the retina or the macula in your eye and causes decreased vision. When your vision is decreased to 20/60 or worse a retina specialist will perform a membrane peel. this entails having the jelly in the back of the eye removed and peeling the membrane off. A successful operation results in vision around 20/50. The surgery is about 3 hrs long. The pt is put under and has no pain. The post-op includes eye drops for about 1 month.

Have you had any health concerns with your pug?
Q. http://www.petinsurance.com/
My vet suggested getting insurance for my pug just in case (because they are known to have some health problems as they get older). Has your pug had any major health problems? Do you have insurance for pug?

A. no but here are some if your consernd and then no how to deal with them The adorable big eyes of the Pug can also be a curse, Pugs are prone to so many eye problems it is almost worthy of a section all by itself! Any Pug worth his salt will stick his face into anything that interest them, unfortunately this means putting there vulnerable eyes in harms way. Running into obstacles as a puppy can be a problem but even in adult hood Pugs need to be careful of thorns, claws and many other objects
Cataracts are Chracterised by Opacities in the lens of the eye. Main causes are include: diabetes, trauma, inflammation, inherrited and puppy milk supplementation. They can be treated by surgery, left untreated they can lead to glaucoma, retinal degeneration or detachment.
Distichiasis , This is a where eyelashes grow from a part of the eyelid which would normally not produce hairs. The extra lashes can rub on the surface of the eye and cause irritation. This condition can cause corneal ulcers or erosions where the hairs touch the surface of the eye and Pigmentary keratitis. Surgical removal of the lashes (applying heat to the eyelid or cryosurgery (freezing the lid) will prevent regrowth) will remove the problem. Ointments to lubricate the eye can can help . Surgical procedures used include cauterization (applying heat to the eyelid) or cryosurgery (freezing the lid). Both procedures kill the roots of the lashes and prevent the distichia from growing back.
Entropion, An abnormal inward rolling of the eyelid, commonly location in the lower corner of the bottom lid closest to the nose (George has this condition wich has caused the onset of Pigmentary keratitis). This condition is thought to be genetic or because of a large heavy overnose wrinkle pushing on the eye lid. The only treatment is surgery, after surgery the lids should look normal. The Pug should not be bred since the condition is could be inherited.
Exposure keratopathy syndrome is the inability to close the eyelids when puggy sleeps.This causes a stripe of pigmentation across the centre of the eye. This condition is also thought to be hereditory or just a breed problem caused by the anatomy of the Pug eye. lubricant applied to the eyes at bedtime to prevent the cornea drying is the most common treatment, if Left untreated the exposed part of the cornea will eventually dry and pigmentation forms causing loss of sight.
Keratoconjunctivitis sicca (Dry eye), This is caused by insufficient tear production and is characterised by red and painful eye with some discharge.A vet can measure the tear production to accurately diagnose this condition and can prescribe topical tear substitutes.
PRA (Progressive Retinal Atrophy) is the degeneration of the vessels around the retina. It usually begins with night blindness in younger dogs, their vision progressively deteriorates eventually leading to blindness.
Pannus, is an immunologic eye disease, signs are bood vessels and scar tissue invading the cornea giving the effect of fleshy growth on cornea. Causes are thought to be ultraviolet light an altitude. This condition can be successfully treated with Steroids but can suppress puggies imune response! Cyclosporine (Optimmune), is an immunosuppressant and applied topically alone, or in combination with steroids often results in better control of pannus than the use of steroids alone.
Pigmentary Keratitis affects the white surface area of the eyes, it is the result of many factors that irritate or inflame the cornea. Characterised by brown pigmentation spots on the surface of the eye.This is normally caused by trauma (George has this condition and it was caused by Entropion of the botton eye lids). If the factor causing the inflammation or irritation can be identified it can be corrected with surgery.
Corneal Ulcer is basically a wound on the surface of the eye. Things to watch for is squinting or a bluish cloud on eye. Main causes are injuries, infections, low or no tear production, eyelashes that grow back on them self's to irritate the surface of the eye and i am sure many others but these are the main causes.
Treatment depends on the cause and seriousness of the ulcer. Minor ones heal with just a antibiotic cream. Ulcers generally heal well but may in some cases leave a slight scar on the eye. Treatment should always be started right away. Left untreated the cornea can perforate and in the worst case if left unattended the eye can be lost.
Muzzle
ESP (Elongated Soft Palate) This is Common in Brachycephalic: pron, bra-key-se--phalic; (short muzzled breeds), The cause is the obstruction of the dogs� airways. The standard snoring of a Pug is a mild form of this condition,more severe cases can be heard through sounds such as honking, gasping for air and the blocking of the dogs� vocal box. This condition can be corrected through surgery.

A. Most people see floaters some time during their lives. Many individuals in their teens and 20s notice some floaters, and people who are nearsighted may have floaters at a younger age. Floaters become more frequent as a person ages.
The majority of floaters are due to normal degenerative changes in the vitreous, the jelly-like floaters because of a retinal tear without a detachment, the tear usually can be treated with minor surgical procedures that can effectively prevent a retinal detachment.
Patients whose floaters are due to bleeding from the abnormal growth of blood vessels can suffer one or more hemorrhages inside the eye that may severely affect vision. Furthermore, abnormal blood vessel growth often leads to scar tissue that tends to shrink. This shrinkage can cause wrinkling, dragging, distortion, detachment and/or tearing of the retina. Minor surgical procedures usually can prevent these problems if diagnosed early. If these problems become advanced, major eye surgery may be needed to prevent blindness. However, as with retinal tears, surgery often is unable to completely reverse the damage caused by scar tissue.
There are no medications available that are effective in treating most floaters. Patients with floaters due to inflammatory eye diseases may be helped by medicines to treat the inflammation; however, the floaters may remain after the treatment. Although floaters can be bothersome, most people learn to ignore them.
