A number of the above conditions do not make a Pug unsuitable as a pet, they are not life threatening and do not interfere with the quality of life that the Pug can maintain. In some cases, the conditions (if severe) may require surgical intervention, some can be controlled with medication. If a Pug develops any of the conditions it should be brought to the breeders attention immediately.
