Brachycephalic Airway Syndrome in Dogs
Abstract
Brachycephalic airway syndrome results from hereditary development defects of cranium. In this breeds, normal
head width decreases. As the soft tissue mass does not decrease as much as the skeleton size, the pressure of the air passing
through the airway increases, which primarily leads to narrowing of stenotic nares, elongated soft palate, and secondarily to
everted laryngeal saccules and laryngeal collapse. Brachycephalic dog breeds include Shih Tzu, Boxer, English and France
bulldog, Pekinese, Pug, Shar Pei, Lhasa Apso and Boston Terrier. Due to high sound, body activity during breathing and
increasing heat in the environment in Brachycephalic breeds leads to inspiratory difficulty in breathing. As the airway is closed
during swallowing and as it will naturally make breathing more difficult, these animals may not want to swallow. If it is not
treated, it can lead to respiratory and cardiovascular problems such as pulmonary vasoconstriction, pulmonary hypertension,
right ventricle failure and even can lead to life loss as a result of complications like laryngeal collapse.
