BOAS Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome explained !

FLAT FACED 🐶 need HELP 🫁 BREATHING !

@drboazman explains that those adorable SMUSHED faced 🐶 🐾 (Pugs, Bulldogs, Shih Tzus, & Boxers) all have something in common: they are #BRACHYCEPHALIC BREEDS

These breeds possess the flat face, pushed-up 👃, narrow nostrils, & large 👀 .

Unfortunately, because of this peculiar anatomy, brachycephalic dogs often have a hard time 💨 breathing & have respiratory 🫁 abnormalities.

This condition is known as brachycephalic syndrome & it is characterized by☝️ or more of the following:

An elongated soft palate
Stenotic nares
Everted Laryngeal Saccules
A narrow trachea
Ever notice that Bulldogs do a lot of 💤 snorting? That’s probably due to an elongated soft palate.

The soft palate is the soft part at the back of the roof of the mouth that separates the nasal passages from the mouth. In brachcephalic breeds, the soft palate extends into the throat & can block the trachea/windpipe.

Lots of barking & panting causes the tissues to swell which leads to breathing problems & respiratory distress. To help correct this problem the elongated soft palate is surgically corrected.

Stenotic nares is the term referring to narrowing of the nostrils. This limits the airflow, making breathing through the nose difficult. When the nostrils are narrow corrective surgery helps patients to breathe better. #aahaaccredited #fearfreevetvisit #vetblogger #vetblog #vetsoffice #stenoticnares #elongatedsoftpalate #trachealcollapse #breathingissues #frenchiesofinstagram🐾

This is the Result of Horrible People. Horrible horrible horrible people breeding these dogs. Humans have caused the suffering of these dogs . I wonder how they would feel if they had to Actually TRY to breathe instead of just Naturally doing it . Whoever’s reading this comment I want you to try to imagine in your imagination if you had to Force yourself and Try hard to breathe . Imagine if breathing took effort actually trying to breathe . It’s hard to put it in describable words. The best I can say is. Forcing yourself to Breathe in. Smokers experience this after Years and years and years of smoking . They have to actually TRY to breathe they have to force themselves to breathe it’s a very uncomfortable thing to do . We are gifted with Effortless breathing but imagine using all your effort just to breathe in . That’s what these dogs feel . They have to Force themselves to Breathe in . Hard to explain !

Myenglish bulldog doesnt sound like this and he can run around fine but last week he collapsed and had to be taken to emergency vet he couldnt breath, his tongue was blue, he had to be sedated. Vet thinks its his soft palate and might need surgery😢

My dog is slowly dying with this and I can not afford the thousands that it costs to have the surgery. I"m thinking of putting her to sleep since she's suffering so much. She can't rest at night.
