Upper Airway Surgery at Lyon Veterinary Clinic
Brachycephalic Syndrome in Short-Nosed Dogs and Cats
At Lyon Veterinary Clinic, we specialize in treating Brachycephalic Syndrome in short-nosed dogs and cats such as Pugs, Shih-Tzus, Boston Terriers, Persians, Bulldogs and others. This condition occurs when the upper airways of these patients become obstructed, leading to decreased airflow, snoring, noisy breathing, and reduced activity. The primary culprits are often small nasal openings known as stenotic nares, a narrow trachea and an elongated soft palate.
