“Dog breeds like French and English bulldogs, Boston terriers, Pugs and Pekinese have a shorter head and the structure of their throat and muzzle can cause breathing obstructions. These dog breeds are collectively known as the ‘brachycephalic’ breed.
Brachycephalic Airway Syndrome refers to a group of abnormalities that result in upper airway obstruction. Addressing these abnormalities at an early age can help avoid progression.
At Kenwick Vet, we provide corrective surgeries for our brachycephalic breeds. These include the correction of stenotic nares, elongated soft palate and everted laryngeal saccules.
