Patchy

I wouodn’t have a clue as to what is going on with Henry.  Whatever it is I pray it is nothing serious and that some topical ointment or medication can be applied and clear it up.  Of course thoughts and prayers will be with sweet Henry.

Henry, we are thinking of you and hoping and praying that those spots are nothing to worry about!  Maybe just puggie beauty marks since you are such a handsome devil??

Pat, I was thinking crop circles too!
Seriously though, I certainly hope it is nothing serious.  Maybe just a mild skin irration.  Please let us know the outcome.

Could be a fungus. Hopefully all he will need is a cream..hope it is nothing else..we will be rooting for him..they are so cute!

C.J. had demodectic mange for a while and after treatment his hair came back.  We are on our way to the vet this am also.  I think C.J. has broken his other wrist.  There is a huge lump on it.  I’m hoping for a cyst but I’m not thinkin’ so!

Looks like demodex.  Dory went through a bout last summer.  Pugs get all the fun ailments!  Good luck with your vet appointment.

Thanks, Carla!  I love this blog cuz I know you all love puggies as much as I do and you’ll understand.  I’m starting to think of C.J. as a “Rescue” because of all of his severe medical problems.  Going to talk to the vet about that too.  Maybe he was a puppy mill victim?

I have seen this on my guys and it just goes away - possibly a change of the season uneven shed. Especially since it isn’t effecting his demeanor and he isn’t scratching it..
I am interested to see what you vet has to say too - please let us know!

Sue, thanks for caring.I just got back and they’re keeping him for the morning.  Going to do x-rays, and possibly, if it’s not bony, an aspiration for cells and see what it looks like under the microscope.  So possible fracture vs. tumor (again)!  The vet was alarmed that his wrist was so swollen.  Of course, my evil husband wants me to put him down and not spend any more money on him, but I’d just as soon put my husband down and keep C.J.!  At least, his love is unconditional AND he never complains or yells!  Pugs rule!

Karen B,
Yes, Pugs Rule!  Please keep us posted while prayers go up to St. Francis.

To Karen:  My husband knows better than to suggest such a thing! He has often said I would get rid of him first if I had to chose between Mr. Skittles or him!!  lol
Hope C.J.‘s vet appointment goes ok.
Thinking of all, Henry & C.J. especially!!

Just heard from the vet…She believes it is a cyst like he had on the other wrist and that that is probably what weakened the wrist that he broke!  She said it’s probably a genetic thing.  We will need to watch it for a couple weeks and maybe have it removed then.  No fracture but he has to have limited exercise so that he doesn’t fracture it!  With C.J. that’s asking a lot cuz he’s my little whirling dirvish!  I was worried that he’d jumped off of the dining room table onto the tile floor and broken the wrist.  (That’s where he waits when we go out. He sits on the table and stares at the door waiting for us to come back!)  He’s so silly…Anyway, the chairs will be moved away from the table and he’ll have to stay on the floor instead of trying to fly!  Thanks all for the well wishes!  I knew I could count on you all for support cuz my hubby is obviously no comfort…LOL!

How about Mr. Henry?  Did you get an answer, OBP?

Karen B,
Thanks for the update, and as Linda said, “there are things more important than money”, and C.J. certainly is. I know you will do whatever is necessary for little C.J.  I feel for you trying to keep him from being a “whirling dirvish”.  I will keep him in prayer, and please keep us updated on him.  Give him hugs and kisses from me, please.

My first thought was ringworm, too.  But I think ringworm is very contagious.  So far, no one else is showing the same symptoms.  We will see how things turn out this afternoon.  Thank you everyone for the well wishes!  Best of luck to you too CJ and Karen.

It looks like ringworm to me as well.  My terrior had it on her stomach and pinky toe one time.  The lyme baths are lot of fun for everyone, let me tell you.  Hopefully, it’s nothing serious.

Heather, thank you!  I think C.J.‘s little “bony cyst” is getting larger and it may yet have to be removed but we’re still watching it.  He isn’t really limping on it but he hesitates to jump and he doesn’t want anyone to touch his wrist so I think he is having pain…so hard to tell since they can’t tell you what’s wrong or if they hurt!  Anyway, will keep you posted.  Hoping this thing resolves on it’s own…

On a brighter note, it’s Friday!  Everyone have a fantastic weekend!  Hail Pugs~!
