Pug Chat General: Health issue with black pug

    I have a 2 year old black pug, named Emmett, he was the runt of the litter. In October of 2007, he began to act funny. He became lethargic, listless, and timid.He couldn't jump up on furniture, or anything normal he would do. We watched him closely over time, and in December he had a seizure. We immediately, took him to an emergency vet, where they kept him overnight with an I.V., and monitored him, and gave him all kinds of test, especially blood tests, to try to see what was going on. Since he did not seize again, and he did so well, they released him back to us the next day. It was awful. We then followed up with our own vet, who got all the results of the test from the ER vet, and no one could find anything. Our vet, only suggested putting Emmett on anti seizure medicine, if he had another seizure,but since he hasn't, then the vet recommended that we not put him on anything.

    Emmett went back to being fine again, for about a month, now he is back to his timid self. He shivers from time to time and likes to lay down a lot. He doesn't necessarily sleep, but just lays down or sits. His balance is a little off, when he walks. He still has his appetite but, he just is not his playful little self anymore.
    He does jump up and down on the furniture again, but I don't let me all the time, I do pick him up and put him down as much as possible.

    I don't know if anyone out there has had this issue, especially with a runt. I have checked out some of the sites, and seeing about various symptoms, but many are very extreme, I don't think he has a neurological disorder, or maybe he does, but the encephalitis symptoms he doesn't really have much of, except the depression like symptoms, his head is not to one side or anything. Otherwise he is fine, going to the bathroom is normal etc.

    So, I was just wondering if anyone else can help.


    We would sure appreciate any help or suggestions from any other Pug parent.

    this could be a classic form of epilepsy, in which some dogs have one seizure in their lifetime, once a month, once a year, some others weeekly. i wish you rpug the best if he has not had any further symptoms. my pug, a fawn girl, started seizing at the start of may this year, just shy of her third birthday, she also has started showing classic symptoms of pug dog encephalitis (walking in circle, putting her head on hard objects, not going up or down stairs, lack of balance etc). we have had many tests done and at first was responding well to anti-seizure medication, fingers were crossed that it was epilepsy, in the last week however the anti-epileptic meds have not been keeping the seizures at bay and it is looking more and more like the encephalitis. We have her at home and the vet has given us the prognosis of weeks or months if it is the case. for the time being we just shower her with love and hugs (even when she becomes distant and resists being touched).
    I wish you the best with Emmett, i see this post was quite some time ago, i hope you have found your answers and have a happy-go-lucky pug back in your life. xx

    I wanted to get a pug. I got one, a black male. He had a lot of strong smell. I was allergic to him, after a few days I returned him to the breeder. I washed him but the smell was abck in days. My question is do males have more scent than females? Do blacks have more scent than fauns? Is the scent because of food? Was he scared in a new environment and that made him sweat and smell? Are there any issues to black or male pugs?

    does anyone know?
