Health and welfare issues of brachycephalic (flat-faced) animals
are one of the most pressing problems facing companion animals
right now. Dogs, in particular, are suffering from a
'brachycephalic crisis' resulting from a perfect storm where
predispositions to an array of health issues are amplified by a
population boom for certain brachycephalic breeds such as the
French Bulldog and Pug. But yet, for many owners, these dogs
represent the perfect companion: endearing personas and cute looks
in a socially desirable package. So where is the truth in all of
this? This book will equip veterinary professionals, animal welfare
scientists, breeders and owners with the fuller story about
brachycephalic health and welfare. The first half of the book
provides the context of how and why we are in this crisis, offering
in-depth historical, social, ethical, communication, nursing,
welfare, epidemiological, genetics and international perspectives.
The second half shifts towards the clinical arena, with chapters
that cover the background, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of
the many unique healthcare needs of brachycephalic animals.
Cutting-edge knowledge is shared on a range of disciplines
including respiratory disease, ophthalmology, dermatology,
dentistry, neurology, obesity, reproduction and anesthesia. With
twenty chapters written by world-leading experts, lifetimes of
experience and knowledge are condensed into the first book
dedicated exclusively to brachycephaly in companion animals. This
essential reference resource will inform, challenge and stimulate;
it will open your mind to new opportunities for you to improve the
welfare of brachycephalic animals by your personal and collective
choices and actions. But prepare to be surprised: you may just find
that your views on brachycephaly in companion animals will be
changed forever.
