Optimizing Care for Brachycephalic Dogs: Addressing Respiratory and Aerodigestive Disorders
Caring for brachycephalic dogs, known for their charmingly unique faces but complex respiratory and aerodigestive challenges, requires a nuanced and compassionate approach. This webinar delves into the comprehensive and stress-free management of these beloved breeds, addressing the intricacies of Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS) and related conditions. Effective management involves thorough diagnostic evaluations of both the respiratory and aerodigestive systems to comprehensively address significant clinical abnormalities.
