Use of ultrasound to estimate tracheal diameter in unclipped brachycephalic dogs: A pilot study

Bulldogs are predisposed to tracheal hypoplasia. A non‐invasive, financially reasonable and widely accessible screening test for tracheal diameter would be useful for assessing the most appropriate

In this review, we dissect the mechanisms and impact of phenotypic plasticity as a response to accumulating climatic ...
