Just wanted to give a quick update. I brought the Pugs and Rosie to the vet yesterday. The Pugs got their shots, exam and supplies. Buddy's lump was biopsied and we'll have the results soon. The vet didn't think it was anything worse than a benign fatty tumor/cyst.
Rosie had a urine culture done. She has bacteria in her urine, so she has antibiotics for that. The residual bleeding is from her having a litter 10 weeks ago. Her urine was clear of blood and crystals. He wants me to get some weight on her and check back when she's up to 20 lbs, she's only 18.5 and in his opinion very poor condition. He said when she's gained weight, completely stopped bleeding and seems in better condition we can have her spayed.
Things here between all 3 of them are going much better! They all piled into a bed together last night with no growling, so we are making huge progress!
Thanks everyone for your help!

I'm writing to let everyone who offered help and advice to me that unfortunately Rosie did not work out here at our home. She is staying with my husband's friend, not the original owner, until she can be placed in a home without other dogs.
We had problems with her snarling and growling at Oscar and Buddy from the beginning. It seemed to be getting better until Saturday morning. Friday night Oscar decided that he wasn't going to have her growling at him anymore and snarled back at her. We avoided a fight because we were all here. My hubby worked Saturday. I had just brought all 3 back inside from a potty trip. Oscar was laying in a dog bed, Rosie wanted it and growled at Oscar. He growled back and before I could get in the room those two started fighting, Buddy jumped in as well. I was able to break it up without getting bit but Oscar ended up with a puncture wound under his left eye. His eye swelled up and the wound was bleeding.
I brought him into the vet, he's on antibiotics and seems to be healing well. But after that, I couldn't see how I was going to make it work. So she will be found a home without other dogs, maybe a cat or two. She's in good hands until that can happen for her.
I've never witnessed a 3 dog fight! It's certainly a scary thing. I'm just glad that no one was hurt worse than they were. Thanks again everyone.
