Evaluation of aerodigestive disease and diagnosis of sliding hiatal hernia in brachycephalic and nonbrachycephalic dogs

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2022
Background Aerodigestive diseases (AeroD), hybrid disorders between the respiratory and gastrointestinal (GI) tracts, may present without GI signs. Sliding hiatal hernia (sHH) is an important AeroD in brachycephalic dogs linked to respiratory pathology ...

Description of a novel method for detection of sleep‐disordered breathing in brachycephalic dogs [PDF]

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2023
Background Sleep‐disordered breathing (SDB), defined as any difficulty in breathing during sleep, occurs in brachycephalic dogs. Diagnostic methods for SDB in dogs require extensive equipment and laboratory assessment.

Brachycephalic dogs

, 2019
The aim of this paper is to give a comprehensive overview of what the concerns of brachycephalic dogs are all about, what we can offer to make these dogs life better, and how we can reverse the trend going forward. While different aspects of the subject will be included and highlighted, the main focus will be on the pathophysiology and topics related ...

Echocardiographic analysis of dogs before and after surgical treatment of brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
Brachycephalic dogs with brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) are a valuable animal model for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in humans. Clinical signs of upper airway obstruction improve after surgical treatment of BOAS, but the impact of ...

Comparison of tracheal diameter in non-brachycephalic versus brachycephalic dogs using manubrium and thoracic inlet tracheal indexes [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
IntroductionNarrowed tracheal lumen diameter (TLD) in dogs caused by congenital hypoplasia or acquired tracheal stenosis can result in adverse health effects. Standardized tracheal scores calculated from radiographic measurements have been used to assess

"You could get the best of both breeds or the worst of both": UK public attitudes towards crossbreeding in dogs - with a specific focus on brachycephalic dogs. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Extreme conformation and reduced genetic diversity are recognised to lead to severely reduced health, welfare and longevity in certain dog breeds. There is growing interest in applying strategic crossbreeding to promote more moderate conformations and ...

Evaluation of metabolic profile and C‐reactive protein concentrations in brachycephalic dogs with upper airway obstructive syndrome [PDF]

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2019
Background Brachycephalic dogs have abnormal breathing patterns similar to those in humans with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is associated with dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, and insulin resistance.

Retrospective Study on the Prevalence of Gastro-esophageal Reflux in Brachycephalic and Non-Brachycephalic Dogs Anesthetized for CT Examination

Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca: Veterinary Medicine, 2022
Gastro-esophageal reflux is the return of gastric contents in the esophagus, phenomenon that can be identified in dogs under general anesthesia, but also in dogs without anesthesia, due to disorders of the distal esophageal sphincter.

Challenges of transsphenoidal pituitary surgery in severe brachycephalic dogs. [PDF]

Front Vet Sci, 2023
INTRODUCTION: Transsphenoidal hypophysectomy is the standard surgical technique for the excision of pituitary neoplasms. Anatomy may be more obscured in brachycephalic skull types due to the crowding of soft tissue and osseous structures. We describe the

Selective attraction to shorter muzzles in dogs is a hidden driver of the brachycephalic welfare crisis

Scientific Reports
Modern dog breeds show a trend towards shorter muzzles in the Western world. Using an international online questionnaire (N = 780), we examined how muzzle length, as the sole varying feature, influenced visual preference for dogs, using digitally morphed
