Brachycephalic Breeds & Surgical Help
Does your pet snort like Luka? Those cute sounds might be a sign of serious health issues in short-nosed breeds. Respiratory problems, GI issues, urogenital concerns, and dental disease are common due to their unique anatomy. Our team at VHA is equipped with brachycephalic experts, and even a surgeon who specializes in Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS) surgery and care. Common issues we help with in our short nosed breeds:
🐾 Respiratory: Trouble breathing due to narrow airways.
🐾 GI Issues: Risk of hernias from straining to breathe.
🐾 Urogenital: Males may develop prolapsed urethra.
🐾 Dental: Crowded teeth can lead to severe dental disease.
We’re dedicated to keeping your pet healthy and happy. 🐾❤️ #PetHealth #BrachycephalicBreeds #VHAVets #BOASVet #BrachycephalicSurgeon
