Today has been pretty good. Only sick twice in eight feedings. Both times I got excited.
Been keeping my wrinkles clean so no infection in those at this time. Ears are dirty but not infected.

Starting point
Got to start somewhere.
Pug is allergic to regular dog food. So it is eating canned venison and potato only. Yesterday she was diagnosed with megaesphagus condition. We built a platform for her food dish and water bowl today. Up about three inches. We hold her head up when ever she eats which is often. It takes about 27 hours for 1 can of food. This helps on her weight as Pugs tend to be over weight.
Megaesphagus is the food doesn't get into the stomach as fast as normal. It sits in the esphagus longer than normal. The muscles along the esphagus are not wired correctly to contract and massage the food along its way. If she tries to bark or if she has her head lowered the food comes up. It explains why she likes using pillows or her toys as a pillow.
