Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS) is an increasingly common presentation in our flat-faced dog breeds.
As the skull is shortened via selective breeding, the soft tissues inside do not reduce in size proportionately, therefore causing an upper airway obstruction.
French bulldogs, English bulldogs and pugs are most commonly affected by BOAS.
Primary anatomical abnormalities include stenotic nares, elongation of the soft palate, an oversized tongue, abnormal nasal turbinate growth and tracheal hypoplasia.
Dogs affected by BOAS will classically display progressive clinical signs including..
➡️ snoring (stertor) 🐽
➡️ increased respiratory effort 🌬
➡️ decreased exercise and heat tolerance 🥵
➡️ sleeping issues 💤 (sleep with their head elevated or with a toy in their mouth)
➡️ regurgitation 🤮 (hiatal hernias develop due to increased pressure created by an obstructed airway that can cause these dogs to regurgitate)
➡️ collapse/cyanosis 🚨
Dogs with these clinical signs benefit from early surgical correction of existing primary abnormalities before secondary changes occur, such as everted tonsils, everted laryngeal saccules and collapse of the arytenoid cartilages caused by turbulent airway flow and chronic high negative pressures in the pharynx.
Saying goodbye to Alex following his BOAS airway surgery 🥰
The Real Boss has arrived 😎 🕺⚡️
Female Tortoiseshell Domestic Shorthair found in Carrignavar this evening. Approx 14years old, blind, no microchip, very unwell. If anyone recognises this little lady please contact Sunbeam Northpoint.
Meet Smudge 🥸
Smudge had an accident 6 weeks ago and fractured four of his metatarsal bones. 🦴
A dorsal S shaped incision was made and his metatarsal fractures were stabilised with using retrograde placement of four k-wires.
His 6 week post operative radiographs show full bone union and we are delighted that Smudge is completely back to his mischievous self 😊
Always celebrate the wins 🐱 😊
We had a super cute little visitor today… 📸 😊

⚠️CAUTION: IMAGES OF NEEDLES AND SURGERY⚠️ Millie was in recently for a laparoscopic spay💫 A Lap spay or keyhole spay is performed through two or three small incisions in the abdomen. 🩺 The procedure is performed using a camera to magnify the internal organs. 📸 A study concluded that lap spays cause less surgical stress and less post operative pain than a tradition open surgical spay.🤩 Here was Millie enjoying the sunshine after her laparoscopic spay! 💖
It’s tick season🤮 Tick season usually runs April until October. They are parasites that feed on the blood of mammals and spread diseases🫣 Ticks can be found in wooded areas and in areas of high grass and they can be an issue for both us humans and pets! If you do find a tick on your pet it must be twisted out gently and the full head must be removed. 🕷️ Prevention is the best treatment, make sure your pet is up to date with their flea and tick treatments all year round. ☀️ Have a look at this creepy crawly tick that we found on a patient yesterday🥴
Jules just woke up from his anaesthetic after being neutered and is very confused about where his very special jewels have gone! #sunbeamvets #sunbeamveterinaryhospital
How common is Osteoarthritis? Osteoarthritis affects around 4/10 cats and dogs. If you have concerns about your pet developing the disease, call us today to book a health check for your pet. #sunbeamvets #sunbeamveterinaryhospital #osteoarthritis #arthritisawareness
Benji enjoying his snack before his Laser Therapy session. Benji has been coming in for Laser Therapy for a few weeks now for ongoing bladder issues and his owner has seen huge improvements with Benji. #sunbeamvets #sunbeamveterinaryhospital
Osteoarthritis is the most common cause of chronic pain in cats and dogs. It affects all aspects of their life and it’s important for pet owners to recognise the signs. If you have any concerns about your pet please contact us to make an appointment. #sunbeamvets #sunbeamveterinaryhospital #arthritisawarenessmonth
Roxy is so relaxed during her acupuncture session. Here you will see Roxy getting electro acupuncture. #sunbeamvets #sunbeamveterinaryhospital
While we wait for the vet….we play ball!!! Also Winston decided to match with the nurses uniform today 💞 #sunbeamvets #sunbeamveterinaryhospital
Meet Lola Eve💞 Lola was a very happy confident puppy, but something unknown to her owner spooked Lola, which made her very nervous around people. We decided to help Lola Eve to get back her confidence! We arranged weekly social visits where we had play time and lots of treats, while staying calm and not putting pressure on Lola to do anything she didn’t want to.Her owner was very committed to these visits and after 2 months we finally got back the Lola Eve that we all love. She is back greeting every person she meets and loves coming to visit us. We are so happy to see the results, well done Lola Eve.
Barnaby was very brave getting his microchip. He barely reacted when the needle went in (and it’s quite a big needle) but with a little distraction with the lick mat it made the whole experience so much nicer for him.
It’s lunchtime for Shanel and what better post surgery treat then some fruity smoothie #sunbeamvets #sunbeamveterinaryhospital
Aires owner said he didn’t like injections too much......but lick matt to the rescue and some tasty food. As you can see Aires didnt even notice the injection. #sunbeamvets #sunbeamveterinaryhospital
The toys came out!!! This one especially seems to be everyone’s favourite at the moment but we don’t know how many machine washes it’s going to survive. You would never think Poppy is 7 years old, she is like a puppy here playing 💗 #sunbeamvets #sunbeamveterinaryhospital
Simba really enjoyed a post surgery meal today after being neutered. #sunbeamvets #sunbeamveterinaryhospital
Happy Easter Weekend. We hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful weather we are getting at the moment. There are many things we can do with our pets to keep them entertained and active at home. Here’s Willow enjoying some apple bobbing while keeping cool. (Always remove the core and pips of apples before giving them to dogs) We would love to see some pictures of your pets and things you do to keep them entertained at home. #sunbeamvets #sunbeamveterinaryhospital #stayhome #flattenthecurve #canineenrichmentideas
Happy Friday!!! The girls in Kinsale Road decided to change things up for lunch today😂😂 They’ve challenged the other sunbeam clinics to take part so please give them all a bit of encouragement🤣 We’d love to see families at home taking part too, it’s definitely a bit of entertainment during lockdown #sunbeamvets #sunbeamveterinaryhospital #stayhome #tiktok
As pet dental month is coming to a close we would like to highlight the importance of brushing your pets teeth. Meet our volunteer Spencer. Spencer gets his teeth brushed on a daily basis at home to prevent tartar and plaque build up. This takes a minimum amount of time to do and as you can see he doesn't mind at all. Getting pets comfortable with this process may take a few sessions so don't give up. Teeth brushing is not just for dogs, cats and ferrets also benefit from this. For more information on teeth brushing why not make an appointment with one of our Veterinary Nurses. #sunbeamvets #sunbeamveterinaryhospital #petdentalmonth
It's not only dogs who benefit from the lick mats. Here's Tommy enjoying something tasty during his check up. #sunbeamvets #sunbeamveterinaryhospital
The lickmat with some Hills ID food worked wonders today for Alfie getting his vaccine #sunbeamvets #sunbeamveterinaryhospital
