Anatomical, functional, and blood-born predictors of severity of brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome severity in French Bulldogs [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
Brachycephalic breeds suffer from respiratory distress known as brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) and the multiple comorbidities associated with it.

Severe brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome is associated with hypercoagulability in dogs [PDF]

Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, 2017
We evaluated whether dogs with severe brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) developed a hypercoagulable state similar to people with obstructive sleep apnea. Five dogs with grade 3 BOAS were included as well as 5 healthy control Labrador Retrievers. Venous blood samples were collected from each dog for performance of thromboelastography and

Prevalence and severity of laryngeal collapse in dogs undergoing surgery for brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome: 80 dogs (2018–2022) [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
ObjectiveThis study aimed to determine the incidence and severity of laryngeal collapse in brachycephalic breeds presented for surgical management of brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS). The primary hypothesis was that French Bulldogs would

Characterisation of Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome in French Bulldogs Using Whole-Body Barometric Plethysmography. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) is an important health and welfare problem in several popular dog breeds. Whole-body barometric plethysmography (WBBP) is a non-invasive method that allows safe and repeated quantitative measurements of ...

Glottic and skull indices in canine brachycephalic airway obstructive syndrome [PDF]

BMC Veterinary Research, 2014
Forty dogs presented for brachycephalic airway obstructive syndrome with laryngeal collapse not over 1st degree (saccule eversion) underwent glottis endoscopic and radiographic skull measurements before surgery. Fifteen Pugs, fifteen French and ten English Bulldogs were included.

Echocardiographic parameters in French Bulldogs, Pugs and Boston Terriers with brachycephalic obstructive airways syndrome

BMC Veterinary Research, 2023
Background In this prospective study, we hypothesized that dogs with signs of brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) would show differences in left and right heart echocardiographic parameters compared with brachycephalic dogs without signs of

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.
