Monday my sweet girl had BOAS surgery.
BOAS (Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome) is common in flat-faced breeds like French Bulldogs and can make breathing much harder than it should be.
Many people think snorting, snoring, and heavy breathing are normal for these breeds — but often it means they are struggling to get enough air.
BOAS surgery helps open the airway so dogs can breathe easier, tolerate exercise better, regulate body temperature, and enjoy a much better quality of life.
I’m so proud of my brave little girl ❤️🐾 and so grateful to Animal Hospital of South Carolina for their wonderful staff and her Dr. Matt Stone ❤️
Her recovery has been phenomenal! You cant even tell she had surgery 3 days ago!
