Understanding Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS)
BOAS affects almost all brachycephalic breeds, including French Bulldogs, Pugs, and British Bulldogs. While some dogs manage reasonably well, early intervention can significantly improve their quality of life. Addressing BOAS at 12 months can prevent serious complications as they age.
Key Facts
The Importance of Early Intervention
Modern veterinary understanding highlights the benefits of airway correction at 12 months of age. This can lead to a safer, more comfortable life for your dog.
Snoring and Exercise Restrictions
Contrary to popular belief, snoring and limited exercise tolerance are not normal. Educating yourself on these issues is crucial for ensuring your dog’s wellbeing.
Long-Term Concerns
Anatomical issues like narrow nares and elongated soft palates can lead to irreversible conditions as your dog ages. Early surgery can prevent these progressive changes.
Why Consider Corrective Surgery
Early airway correction is a simple, cost-effective procedure that can significantly enhance your dog’s quality of life.
Best Timing for Surgery
The ideal time for surgery is around 12 months. After two years of age, the benefits of surgery may decrease, but it can still prevent worsening breathing problems.
Expected Outcomes
Surgery performed around 12 months results in a 90% chance of moderate to significant improvement, reducing the risk of future complications.
Even if Your Dog is Not Noisy
Assessing airways is still crucial. Many dogs that don’t exhibit noise can still have underlying issues that benefit from early correction.
Finding the Right Surgeon
Not all surgeons perform the full range of necessary procedures. It’s essential to choose a veterinarian with extensive experience in brachycephalic breeds.
Surgery Details
Early surgery is typically non-invasive with quick recovery times. Delayed surgery, however, can lead to more challenging recoveries.
