Breathe Easy: Specialized Surgery for Brachycephalic Dogs at All Pets Veterinary Medical Center
At All Pets Veterinary Medical Center, we understand the unique challenges faced by brachycephalic breeds—dogs with short, flattened faces such as Bulldogs, Pugs, Boston Terriers, and French Bulldogs. While these breeds are beloved for their charming looks and playful personalities, they are also prone to a condition known as Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS), which can severely impact their ability to breathe comfortably.
Our team is proud to offer advanced surgical correction for brachycephalic dogs suffering from this common but serious condition.
What Is BOAS?
Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome is caused by structural abnormalities in the airway. Common issues include:
-
Stenotic nares (narrowed nostrils)
-
Elongated soft palate
-
Everted laryngeal saccules
-
Hypoplastic trachea (narrow windpipe)
These abnormalities can lead to labored breathing, snoring, overheating, coughing, vomiting, and even collapse after mild exertion.
How We Help
Our veterinarians have extensive experience in soft tissue surgery and have successfully improved the quality of life for many brachycephalic dogs through corrective procedures. Using advanced surgical tools, we are equipped to safely open the airway, reduce respiratory distress, and allow your dog to breathe and play more freely. We’re also equipped with advanced pain management options to ensure your pet’s comfortable recovery from surgery.
What to Expect
Every patient begins with a comprehensive physical exam and pre-surgical consultation. If surgery is indicated, we’ll discuss:
-
The specific anatomical issues affecting your pet
-
Recommended corrective procedures
-
Expected outcomes and recovery time
Our post-operative care includes comprehensive patient recovery and a detailed discharge plan to ensure a smooth recovery at home.
