Common Health Issues of Short Nosed Dogs

If you are lucky enough to share your life with a Japanese Chin, Shih tzu, Bulldog, Pug, or any other short nosed dog, then you may have noticed some issues that are associated with their nose. If you want to add one of these wonderful dogs to your household, you may have questions regarding any health issues that show up as a result of having such a short, pushed in little nose.

These common health issues are due to a set of conditions known as Brachycephalic Syndrome, which causes the upper respiratory airflow to become restricted. It is also the Syndrome that comes from shorter bones and flattened faces that characterizes many small dog breeds.

Brachycephalic Syndrome does not differentiate between sexes and both male and female dogs are equally susceptible. Breeds such as the Pug, English Bulldog and Japanese Chin are some of the most commonly afflicted.

The Brachycephalic Syndrome can cause increasing breathing issues for dogs as they age. The trachea and the larynx typically become more fragile and eventually may collapse due to the stress of the syndrome. As your beloved pet ages, you must be increasingly aware of the following common symptoms:

* Loud respiration (most importantly when breathing in)
* Trouble exercising
* Fainting

If you begin to notice these symptoms in your dog, it is highly advised that you seek the advice of your veterinarian. Tests will be performed to correctly diagnose the syndrome as Brachycephalic Syndrome. These tests will include a thorough physical exam, with special attention being paid to the chest and throat areas.

The treatment of this syndrome for dogs with mild symptoms is generally to keep the dog as quiet as possible, avoiding heavy exercise or excitement. More severe cases can be treated with surgery, which is performed to increase productive airflow through the upper respiratory tract.

The most important thing that you can do for your dog regardless of age is to pay close attention to his breathing patterns, know what is normal for your particular dog under different circumstances. If these patterns begin to change, it could be a sign of trouble and the dog will need to be seen by a vet.

Above all, love and have fun with your dog.
