Microchip Number: #95600006295052

Benjamin Button is a small puggy man who is as cute as can be…
An adorable happy 6.5kg pocket rocket full of puggy love and energy…..
This little guy absolutely loves playing with toys, especially fetch with balls, and joining in with everything….
He thinks walkies are great and struts his stuff, he plays chasey, adores getting cuddles, jumping up couches and snuggles on human beds basically Benjamin Button just loves pug life living …..
Arriving into Pug Rescue care Benjamin Button’s breathing was terrible, he wasn’t desexed so was humping all his mates, had undiagnosed hind leg gait issues and needed a dental done..
Using a bloke like him with terrible breathing and altered hind leg gait was for breeding seriously was just plain irresponsible and dumb…
Pug Rescue thankfully aren’t irresponsible and dumb…
And straight away organised with vets and specialists vets to get much needed vetwork done..
Firstly Benjamin Button underwent specialist BOAS -“Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome” surgery performed by specialist surgeon Dr Ben and the Melbourne Animal Referral Services Team yay…
He also underwent desexing and spine and hip X-rays showing he has hip dysplasia hence his sway…
For the BOAS surgery the folded flap palatoplasty surgery technique to thin and trim his soft palate, a tonsillectomy to remove my enlarged tonsils and the ala-vestibuloplasty technique to widen his extremely stenotic nostrils/nares…
His breathing is dramatically improved since surgery and he’s enjoying more easily breathing the air…
Benjamin Button is a typical pug that comes into Pug Rescue care with no vetwork and we have to start from scratch and do everything…
So he can now really start living…
Benjamin Button then needed his teeth cleaning…
Dr Sharon at Knox Vet Clinic performed his major dental to ensure he has a sparkling grin…
He had to had to have 13 gross teethy removed and lots of his gums were rotting…
His breath is now fresh and he’s no longer in dental pain which is great..
It’s sad that his little mouth was left to get into such a state…
Benjamin Button is super excited that he can now find his furever family…
That he will love dearly….
If you are looking for the goodest boy, with the best head tilt, wrinkles, button nose and pokey out tongue…
Benjamin Button says he is the one…
Please send an enquiry through, as he hopes to be soon sitting on the lap of his new furever dad and or mum..
