Evista (raloxifene) affects the cycle of bone formation and breakdown in the body, and reduces loss of bone tissue. Evista is used to treat or prevent osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. It is also used to reduce the risk of invasive breast cancer in postmenopausal women who have osteoporosis or who are otherwise at risk of invasive breast cancer. Evista is not a cancer medication and will not treat breast cancer.
The average time a Pug's heat cycle lasts is 2 to 3 weeks. A Pug will enter heat every 5 to 8 months, and this averages out to about twice per day. Until a dog is sprayed, she may continue to enter heat indefinitely; this is because most female dogs do not experience the canine equivalent of menopause.
Pet MD states that the average lifespan of pugs is 12 to 15 years. Pugs sometimes suffer from necrotizing meningoencephalitis, which is a condition that causes inflammation of the brain and meninges. Pugs that are susceptible to the condition experience symptoms within 6 months to 7 years of age.
