> I was wondering if anyone out there has any experience with their Peke needing nasal surgery to enlarge and/or straighten out the nostrils. I just got my 2nd Peke who is about 10 weeks old and the vet said he may need this surgery. I have read that this is not uncommon in Pekinese, but have no info on it. I would like to know how difficult this procedure is for the dog, at what age it is usallly done and if anybody could give a ballpark figure on cost. Any help is appreciated.

I wouldn't do it until the pup is at least 6 months old. Sometimes it goes away and you won't have to get the surgery done. If you do it before they are six months old it's possible they will have to have it done again.
