NWR: Beware when neutering your pug [UPDATED W/ PICS]

My mom and stepfather's baby died today - a 10 month old pug. She brought him in for neutering and he had an allergic reaction to the anesthia. The vet did not warn her that pugs are at greater risk. Sam's picture is in my avatar. He was so sweet and loveable and I hope you all take note of this when you bring your short-faced dog in for neutering.

I am so sorry... I have a pug and he is the best thing in this world! I don't know what I would have done if this happened to my little boy. Luckily everything turned out fine after he got neutered.

I am so sorry to hear this. Is your name Jessica? My name is Nicoel and I am Simone's cousin ( Jake's girlfriend ) She told me this story and I was so upset! I have to puppies myself...

Yes, I'm Jake's sister. That's funny, you're getting married at the same venue as me, and on my birthday! Thanks for your post.

OMG! I'm so sorry for your loss Have you contacted an attorney yet? I know that Elinor Molbegott is the General Counsel for North Shore Animal League and I think she handles some private cases as well. What an awful thing to have happen when you guys were just trying to do the 'right' thing by having your dog neutered.

Thank you for this atty contact - my mom left a message for her.

Anyone that knows a good animal malpractice lawyer or that has a similar story to share, please do. Any information we can gather will help.

Thanks again!
