Brachycephalic Airway Surgery in the Cleveland Area
Lakeland Veterinary Clinic in the Cleveland Area offers specialized surgical care for brachycephalic breeds—dogs and cats with short, flat faces like Bulldogs, Pugs, Frenchies, and Persians. These breeds are prone to Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS), which can affect their ability to breathe, sleep, and stay active. Our team is experienced in treating these conditions safely and effectively.
Common procedures include widening narrowed nostrils (stenotic nares), shortening elongated soft palates, and correcting everted laryngeal saccules. These surgeries help reduce airway resistance and allow your pet to breathe more comfortably, improving their quality of life, stamina, and overall health.
At Lakeland, we perform a thorough pre-surgical evaluation, including airway assessment and anesthetic risk review, to ensure your pet’s safety. Our team uses advanced monitoring and post-operative care protocols to minimize discomfort and support smooth recovery. Most pets show significant improvement in breathing, energy levels, and even reduced snoring after surgery.
If your brachycephalic pet shows signs of labored breathing, noisy inhalation, or heat intolerance, surgery may help. Lakeland Veterinary Clinic proudly serves the Cleveland Area and surrounding areas with trusted surgical care for flat-faced breeds. Schedule a consultation today to discuss whether airway surgery is the right step for your pet’s health.
