Why is her tongue so long. Seems it restricts her breathing.

[@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen]

Hi Budette! These dogs have a condition known as hanging tongue syndrome, and it can be triggered by a congenital defect, injury, dental disease, or neurological damage. This can leave the dog open to cracking and bleeding of the tongue as well as difficulty eating or cleaning themselves. Thanks for your question.👍🏼

[@DrDIY1]

Being a pug restricts it's breathing😂

[@vickicoughenour2066]

Cute pug, great work.

[@gordtron]

13 year old Pug is like a miracle for that breed. thanks for giving her and other animals such an improved quality of life.

[@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen]

That‘s right and I‘m glad I could help her.thanks for connecting Gordton!

Pewdiepie (popular KZbinr) had his pug Maya until she was 17 years old!! Passed away a couple years ago, but she lived such a long and happy life🥰

[@middlelle]

My pug was 13 when he passed. He was a wonderful dog.

[@Luckybetta]

Daisy was so sweet. You can tell her mother adores her and rightfully so! ❤. You could tell Daisy was enjoying the spine palpations. She closed her eyes, she was so relaxed and enjoying it. Thank you for sharing Daisy and her Mommy Dr Doug! 😚

You‘re welcome R.J.

[@heatherburrell]

Sweet little girl, she is so patient. How sad that there's so many breeds of animals that are so poorly bred, leaving so many disabling qualities. Health doesn't always come into it. I am glad that there's so many people who understand that their animal needs the best quality of life that they can, there's many very compassionate people. This is why I love your channel 💖

[@nottycm5010]

That is the most expressive tongue I have ever seen. Hilarious and very sweet.

[@roxxanne6795]

Doc Doug, thank you for helping Daisy - she seemed to really enjoy the back being mobilized as she was getting sleepy. What a wonderful owner helping her enjoy her senior quality of life ❤❤

[@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen]

Aww thank you Roxxanne! Yes she enjoyed it, and could totally relax, was amazing!

I have 2 pugs that are almost 15yo. We have been treating with acupuncture and chiropractic adjustments for 2 years. What a difference it has made. Without it, I don't believe that either of my girls would still be mobile at all.

[@dawn3514]

If your ever in Vermont, I work at a alpaca farm and we have a bactrian camel that injured his knee about 3 years ago. He gets massages and reiki therapy. I am sure he could use a chiropractor to do some adjustments. He only uses it when he runs. When he walks slow he only uses his good legs. He has a brother and they are 2 big sweet boys.

[@AnimalCrackerDrDougWillen]

Wow thanks! But sorry I haven’t planned to go to Vermont next!
