Brachycephalic Dogs

🎞️ Dr. Lera talks about brachycephalic syndrome with Callie.
ℹ️ Brachycephalic airway syndrome refers to a particular set of upper airway abnormalities that affect brachycephalic dogs. This syndrome is also called brachycephalic respiratory syndrome, brachycephalic syndrome, or congenital obstructive upper airway disease. The upper airway abnormalities that occur in this syndrome include: stenotic nares, extended nasopharyngeal turbinates, elongated soft palate, laryngeal collapse, everted laryngeal saccules and hypoplastic trachea. An individual dog with brachycephalic syndrome may be affected by a combination of one or more of these abnormalities.

People who buy and breed brachycephalic dogs are selfish.

My dog is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. He snores and has sleep apnea. Is there a treatment for him?

Did you get the surgery?

@@tiromandal6399, no, it wasn’t offered and I don’t know that it was available then. He’s almost 9 now. I mentioned his apnea and other problems to my vet but she didn’t know anything about surgery.
