Can You Hear Me Now?

Henry your hearing may be off but you are still as handsome as ever

Feel better soon,  Henry.  Hope the drops do the trick.  Genevieve has lost most of her hearing, too. She will be 12 in Aug.

We had the same thing happen with Lucy. I fussed at her for two weeks, thinking that she was just being obstinate and ignoring me every time I called her. We finally figured out she couldn’t hear AT ALL! Had her in to the vet for something else and found out she had a double ear infection as well. But after 10 days on antibiotics and drops her hearing came back completely! I bet Henry’s will come back too.

The ear drops need time to do their magic. Ear infections in pugs are sometimes hard to clear up, but your good care and attention will certainly help Handsome Henry.

Oh Henry, Hope the drops work and you get all your hearing back. Pug hugs from pastor sue & the Colorado 2

Rosco, our 12 year old , has been losing his hearing little by little.  We took him to the vet yesterday and they cleaned out his ears (lots of nasty stuff) the rest of yesterday and all day today, it seems his hearing is now completely gone. He is miserable !  Not himself and responds to nothing. At least before , if you yelled loud enough, he would look around to see where that noise was coming from.  He is also pawing at his ears.  He another appointment tomorrow. We can only hope some ear drops or antibiotics will clear this up. We are worried sick.

So Rosco went in today for a more thorough exam. We were told it is not uncommon for older Pugs to lose their hearing.  We were given drops and ear wash but no encouragement as to the return of his hearing. Good news is…he has done a 180 degree turnaround and now seems back to his old, normal, silly self. He depends on our hand signals and takes cues from his 4 year old female companion, Daisy (black Pug). 
Our thought is this…because of his age, I am grateful that if Rosco had to lose one of his senses, it is his hearing.

Glad Rosco is adjusting so well!
My eleven year old pug, Maisy has been suffering with double ear infections.  She has been on two sets of antibiotics and two different types of ear drops.  Her hearing loss seems to be directly connected to her ear infections. It has deeply saddened me, and I’m hoping that once her ear infections are cured, she’ll have at least some of her hearing restored.  It’s frustrating to see such little improvement following weeks of treatment.  Still trying to figure out what she could be allergic to that led to these infections.
