Resumo(s)
As raças braquicefálicas como o Pug, Boxer, Shih Tzu, Bouledogue Francês e Bulldog Inglês têm popularidade crescente na sociedade mundial. Porém, os defeitos anatómicos como a estenose de narinas e prolongamento do palato mole, apresentados por muitos destes animais, ainda são subvalorizados pelos proprietários, pois são tidos como “características normais da raça”. Na literatura veterinária, os sinais clínicos mais frequentemente associados são dispneia, roncos, estridor, regurgitação, vómitos, cianose e colapso. Sabe-se que a obstrução crónica do trato respiratório superior traz consequências importantes a nível respiratório, digestivo e sistêmico para estes animais, podendo leva-los à morte. O médico veterinário tem um papel essencial na orientação dos criadores e proprietários com relação à reprodução, cuidados de saúde, bem-estar e à importância da correção cirúrgica de cães com alterações extremas. Este trabalho experimental sobre a Síndrome Obstrutiva das Vias Aéreas dos Braquicéfalos (BOAS), realizou inquérito online com 100 proprietários de cães braquicéfalos operados das narinas estenóticas e/ou palato mole alongado. Verificou-se uma melhora clínica evidente em 99% destes animais através do aumento no nível de atividade e da redução dos sinais clínicos respiratórios e digestivos.
ABSTRACT - Clinical evolution of brachycephalic dogs after corrective surgery in the owner’s view - Brachycephalic breeds such as Pug, Boxer, Shih Tzu, French and English Bulldog have increasing popularity in world society. However, anatomical defects such as stenotic nares and elongated soft palate, presented by many of these animals, are still underestimated by the owners, since they are considered "normal characteristics of the breed". According to the veterinary literature, the clinical signs most frequently associated are dyspnea, snoring, stridor, regurgitation, vomiting, cyanosis and collapse. It is known that chronic obstruction of the upper respiratory tract has important respiratory, digestive and systemic consequences for these animals, which can lead to death. The veterinarian has an essential role in guiding animal breeders and dog owners regarding the breeding, health care attention, welfare and the importance of surgical correction procedures for dogs with severe alterations. This Brachycephalic Airway Obstructive Syndrome (BOAS) experimental study carried out an online survey of 100 owners of brachycephalic dogs who had surgery on the stenotic and / or elongated soft palate. The results showed an evident clinical improvement of 99% of these animals through an increase in the level of activity and the reduction of respiratory and digestive clinical signs.
