Meet "Penny" a French Bulldog

Meet "Penny". This beautiful 21-month-old French Bulldog was born with "Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS)" and she suffered from overheating during exercise and inability to fully exercise.

Penny - Before Stenotic Nares Surgery

I performed her airway corrective surgeries (stenotic nares and elongated soft palate) 1 month ago and her mom just sent me this fantastic photo of her nostrils. You can see how nicely open her nostrils are now which has allowed her to be much more active.

Penny - After Stenotic Nares Surgery 

The absorbable sutures are almost completely resorbed, and the pink depigmented areas will re-pigment over the next few weeks. Penny was a wonderful little patient and I am so happy to know what a difference I was able to make in her life. 

Please call us for an appointment with me to consult with YOUR Bulldog. 

Sincerely,

Dr. Kimberly Daffner
