Romeo the pug gets nose job to cure chronic snoring problem



Snoring and snorting had got so bad he was keeping owner awake at night



Romeo the wheezy pug dog is fit to sniff out a Juliet once again after receiving a nose job to cure his chronic snoring problem.



Two-year-old Romeo's late night snoring and snorting had got so bad it would echo round owner Sue Mandile's house in Melbourne, Australia, keeping her awake.



Worried Ms Mandile feared Romeo might have a serious medical condition and took him to the vet for a full health check.

She said: 'He was a terrible snorer, the sound was horrible and went through the whole house.

'We thought he had some trouble breathing and took him into the vet for a health check and for his injections.'

The vet was able to carry out a minor procedure which left Romeo breathing more easily and Ms Mandile finally able to get a proper night's sleep.



Cosmetic surgery for dogs is becomming more common as over-breeding results in exagerrated festures and health problems.

A couple form Yorkshire, England, spent £8,000 on a facelift for their bloodhound Junior to stop him from going blind.

Junior's rare skin disorder meant he had not grown into his skin properly and the weight of the excess flesh above his face had caused it to fold and cover his eyes.

Another breed that has been known to require surgery is the Shar Pei, also known as the Chinese wrinkle dog.

Problems arise when the skin droops over an animals eyes blocking its vision.
