Brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) is a condition commonly seen in certain dog breeds, such as Bulldogs, Pugs, and Boxers. It occurs due to the shortened skull shape, which leads to anatomical abnormalities in the airway. These abnormalities can cause breathing difficulties, snoring, and exercise intolerance. Symptoms of BOAS may include noisy breathing, gagging, and overheating. The condition can be exacerbated by obesity and heat, making it important for owners to monitor their pets' weight and activity levels. In severe cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to improve airflow and quality of life.
