I’ve talked to the surgeon and sent videos of his breathing and nose and he doesn’t see anything concerning. He’s not bringing up anything anymore but gaga will still happen .

Yah he’s a still gagging like he was before the surgery and a little bit of regurgitation ,mostly water, but I think that’s to be expected for a little bit after surgery . hopefully in a month or so this problem will be resolved and it won’t be a different issue causing it

After ur guys had surgery did they have some gagging for a bit after ?

He’s doing really well now , today he seems a lot more like himself and like he’s turned a corner . I’ve tried the wet cloth but he’s incredibly fussy with things touching his face unless it’s just my fingers .. and even then he’s not great. His nostrils seem a lot more open today and less...

So we are 72 hours post op and overall he’s doing well but today he does have some crusting inside his nostrils. I think he’s also having a difficult time finding comfortable positions as I’m sure that the soft palate is sore , seems like after eating /drinking or liquid meds is when it’s most...

Thanks for the info! Yes we had a rough night, ended up in emerg twice and he ended up having to stay overnight for a day due to possible aspiration pneumonia . He’s home now and doing better but it’s been a wild 48 hours. Breathing is less gurgley but still loud but I know that will improve...

Well good news, Louie did great during surgery and is home and recovering ! Breathing is a bit gurgle but I would assume that’s to be expected. They ended up doing his nares, laryngeal succles and soft palette , the surgeon said he had an exceptionally long soft palate for a dog his age. I’m so...

Ok that’s great to hear! Yah barking won’t be an issue , I’m sure he’ll want to play but hopefully the drugs will help keep him nice and calm until he’s recovered. Well keep everyone posted, he goes in tomorrow 🫣🫣

Louie’s not a big barker , so we should be ok there main thing is he won’t be able to chew his bone . How was the recovery time? What were they allowed to do and not to do?

Thank you for sending along your prayers for my boy.. I know it’s for his best interest , we just want him to live his most comfortable and healthy life. I’ll be having stress diarrhea until it’s all completed that being said 😂 when you had your dogs done did they have to do the nares, soft...

Hey all, So we had our appointment with the surgeon today and from what he can tell on exam he does feel the bulbous area under Louie’s chin could just be his tongue being thick for hisnstructure . That being said, after his evaluation he does feel he would greatly benefit from the BOAS surgery...

Thanks I will!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Ya moved up my specialist appointment to Monday so hopefully they can give me some insight into what it could be, along with the BOAS assessment . Fingers crossed!

See that was my feelings on it too, my vet doesn’t think it’s a swollen salivary gland but I’m not convinced . I have my specialist appointment on May 20th so I hope to get more insight . No swelling anywhere else thank goodness .

Hey guys, Does this area under my frenchies jaw area look normal for the breed or unusual? It’s soft and somewhat squishy when I touch it. My vet seems to think he has a large tongue with could be causing the lump there but he doesnt have a difficult time closing his mouth or keeping his...
