Brachycephalic Airway Syndrome
While we all love our flat-faced pets, their shortened muzzles can result in Brachycephalic Airway Syndrome (BAS) which is a series of anatomical abnormalities that can make breathing difficult. Join us on Wednesday, June 28th at 6pm ET as Dr. Daniel Spector, Service Head of Surgical Service 2 and the Surgery Residency Program Director at the Schwarzman Animal Medical Center, discusses the clinical signs of BAS, the various anatomic abnormalities that can cause breathing difficulties, and how it can be treated.
This is a free, online-only event hosted via Zoom (https://zoom.us/). The Zoom link will be emailed to all registered participants the day of the event. Please email UsdanInstitute@amcny.org with any questions.
