Prevalence of pectus excavatum (PE), pectus carinatum (PC), tracheal hypoplasia, thoracic spine deformities and lateral heart displacement in thoracic radiographs of screw-tailed brachycephalic dogs.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Pectus excavatum, thoracic spine deformities, tracheal hypoplasia and lateral heart displacement are frequently described in brachycephalic dog breeds. Pectus carinatum is described sporadically, although the authors' observations demonstrate that it may

Quantitative gastrointestinal ultrasonographic evaluation in brachycephalic dogs with obstructive airway syndrome [PDF]

Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira
: Respiratory obstruction in brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) can lead to secondary gastrointestinal alterations. This study aimed to quantitatively assess the echogenicity of the stomach, duodenum, and jejunum in dogs affected by ...

Flat-Faced or Non-Flat-Faced Cats? That Is the Question

Animals, 2023
Persian and exotic shorthair cats are the most-popular brachycephalic breeds worldwide. This study aimed to explore differences in human-cat bonding, behavioural traits, perception of clinical breed-related problems, and the motivation for purchasing ...

The difference between two brachycephalic and one mesocephalic dog breeds’ problem-solving performance suggests evidence for paedomorphism in behaviour

Scientific Reports, 2023
Despite serious health and longevity problems, small brachycephalic breeds are becoming increasingly popular among pet owners. Motivations for choosing short-nosed breeds have been extensively investigated in recent years; however, this issue has been ...

Ultrasonographic assessment of optic nerve and optic nerve sheath diameters with ocular biometry in brachycephalic versus non-brachycephalic cats [PDF]

Kafkas Universitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Dergisi
Distinct craniofacial morphology in brachycephalic cats may alter ocular anatomy and predispose these breeds to specific ophthalmic conditions. This study evaluated the relationship between craniofacial conformation and optic nerve diameter (OND), optic ...

Tooth row allometry in domestic rabbits and nondomestic lagomorphs: Evidence for a decoupling of body and tooth row size changes in evolutionary time

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Domestic rabbits of different body sizes differ disproportionately in the length of their tooth row or the length of their diastema. Abstract In various domestic mammals, smaller breeds tend to have proportionally larger teeth, whereas this is not a universal trend across mammals.

Rethinking brachycephaly: Anatomical implications and health considerations in lagomorphs

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Brachycephaly in domestic rabbits is increasingly perceived by welfare organizations as associated with significant health complications, particularly oral pathologies. Despite this perception, comparative anatomical research into rabbit brachycephaly is limited compared to that of dogs and cats, compelling an in‐depth examination of its ...

Decoupled and diverse: A morphological examination of the two‐jaw system in Mormyridae (Osteoglossiformes)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The tongue‐bite apparatus (TBA) is a secondary jaw system found in Osteoglossomorpha and, convergently, Salmonidae. It is thought to have similar prey‐processing functions as the pharyngeal jaws, possibly allowing the oral jaws to evolve separately for more efficient prey capture.
