Brachycephalic airway syndrome is seen in dogs with short noses, such as French and English bulldogs. This is when the pet has extra throat tissue length, making them trouble breathing. We can shorten their soft palate over their trachea to open the passage for proper breathing. In addition, we can open up their nose and give the airway more room to breathe. We will also evaluate the cartilage, tonsils, and laryngeal saccules to determine if additional surgery is needed.
