Lilypad

Meet Lilypad! This one-eyed beauty transferred to us from the Chula Vista Animal Care Facility.<br/>She arrived at their shelter underweight, covered in fleas, and had delivered pups recently (milk still in teats). At our rescue, she has been nothing but a happy little girl who loves to nibble our fingers, hang out with her new group of friends, looks like the winking emoji with her tongue hanging out, and enjoys a good sploot on a cool surface!<br/>She is on our weight gain program so she can get back to a healthy weight. For now, she is absolutely loving the extra food and treats! <br/><br/>Health considerations: Based on the level of healing of Lilypad's removed eye, our vet believes her eye removal surgery was done within the last year or so. Additionally, it weeps like a regular eye does (morning crusties) which indicates that she likely has a residual tear duct (partial or whole) that will continue to secret these tears. It is important to keep an eye on this eye socket for any fluid build-up, inflammation, or other changes. Though the tear duct should have been completely removed by the vet who removed her eye, complete tear duct removal is not necessary at this time as tear secretion looks normal and healthy.<br/>We are bathing her with prescribed medicated shampoo once weekly and keeping her facial folds clean as these were terribly neglected. Her skin is recovering quickly so she is shedding a lot as her body gets rid of her old coat. She will need to continue these once weekly baths until her skin is fully healed. As with all pugs, weekly facial fold maintenance is a must to prevent yeast and other bacterial growth from taking hold. She will need to continue her weight gain program until she is at a healthy weight. <br/><br/>Regarding COVID-19 and other contagious illnesses: Please reschedule any visits if you are sick.
