I was brought to MPR after a good Samaritan took me in from her friend because there was a question about my medical status. Take a close look at my nose, yes I look like a clown. The color has changed to pink. The initial prognosis was an auto-immune issue. The anticipated cost of treatment is what started my moves from different homes. MPR was contacted and they said they would shoulder the expense of the testing and any treatment necessary. I am to undergo a procedure where a biopsy will be taken from my nose while I am under anesthetic. I am 8 months old, potty trained, spayed, up to date on Rabies, Distemper, Bordetella, Corona, heartworm and fecal testing, and microchipped. I have been trained to use a crate and like children and other dogs. 11/6/09 Update: After extensive testing of the biopsies submitted to MSU there were no signs of infection, auto-immune deficiency or any other maladies that will affect Olive's health or well being. The stitches have been removed from her nose, the swelling has reduced and some of the color has returned. No further medical treatment is recommended and is ready to go to her forever new home. I went to my forever home on 12/27/09. My new home has 2 other boy Pugs , a cat and of course my mom and dad. I will teach them to cater to my every need. If you are interested in adopting me or any of the Pugs currently residing with Michigan Pug Rescue, please go to our web site, michiganpugrescue.com and go to the Adoption info section where you will find the necessary forms to download to begin the adoption process.
