BOAS (Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome) is the name given to breathing problems caused by dogs having flat faces.

BOAS commonly affects flat-faced breeds including:
English Bulldogs
French Bulldogs
Pugs
Boxers
Shih Tzus

The symptoms of BOAS can appear in puppies but sometimes don’t start until dogs are two–four years old.

Symptoms include:
Noisy breathing (including snuffles)
Snoring
Difficulty breathing
Disrupted sleep
Excessive panting, even when resting
Unable or unwilling to exercise
Struggling in hot weather (flat-faced dogs are more prone to heatstroke)
Difficulty eating
Regurgitation or vomiting

Your dog might benefit from surgery to correct some of the problems causing their breathing difficulties. This includes widening their nostrils and shortening their soft palate. Surgery should be done earlier rather than later for the best chance at a good outcome ideally 12-18 months of age. There are a number of risks associated with surgery, however, the surgery is likely to dramatically improve your dog’s quality of life.

In the Picture of Hugo you can see the difference in his nostril size, he also had his soft pallet shortened and is now living a much happier life.

The Surgery is done by our vet Alberto at the Lichfield Branch.
If you think your dog may benefit from having the surgery please book an appointment at any of our Hillman branches and they will discuss your case with Alberto and then get booked in for surgery at Lichfield.
