Red Blood Cell Distribution Width in Brachycephalic Dogs with Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome

International Journal of Zoology and Animal Biology, 2021
Brachycephalic dogs, such as English and French Bulldogs, Pugs, and Boston Terriers, are prone to a conformation-related respiratory disorder known as brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS). Due to its systemic consequences, BOAS should be considered as a systemic disease.
