🐶 🫁👃🏻 LET’S TALK BOAS
This pup came to Acadia for BOAS surgery to correct an extremely elongated soft palate as well as stenotic nares. BOAS or Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome is a common condition seen in Frenchies, Bulldogs, & Pugs (and other short snout or brachycephalic breeds). Years of selective breeding has unfortunately led to this debilitating condition which can cause respiratory distress, exercise/heat intolerance, affect sleep, affect the gastrointestinal system and even cause permanent changes and damage to the airways!! For some it can become a severe animal welfare issue, but with continued education and responsible breeding we can hopefully improve & work towards eliminating these traits.
There are many components to BOAS (see one of our previous posts) and unfortunately we can’t correct them all, but we can significantly help to improve their quality of life by performing surgery to remove the excess tissue blocking their airways and improve your pet’s breathing and comfort.
At Acadia we use the cutting edge technology of our Vetscalpel CO2 surgical laser 💥 to perform this surgery. Our laser cuts and cauterizes the tissue which leads to LESS bleeding 🩸 , LESS inflammation and swelling, LESS pain, NO SUTURES needed and FASTER healing and recovery!!
In fact ALL of our surgeries at Acadia are performed with our CO2 laser and we just LOVE all the benefits it gives to our patients!
With this pup here, we performed a staphelectomy to remove a large amount of excess tissue from the soft palate that was blocking their airway (as seen in our video 😮), as well as a rhinoplasty to open up their stenotic nares (narrowed nostrils). The improvement post op was immediately noticeable 🧡
Breathe easy friend!! 🫁

Lambo (yes, named after the sports car 🏎️) was in for a visit with us the other day for a beak and nail trim!! Lambo loves people especially his little kid-human siblings who named him💚. And no the red on his beak isn’t an injury🩸, he just had some raspberries for breakfast!! 😆🦜
