The brachycephalic syndrome is a set of anatomical and physiological changes that hinder the passage of air through the airways. This syndrome combines nostril stenosis and soft palate elongation as primary changes, which lead to secondary changes. Because of these factors, the animal makes greater respiratory effort, presenting clinical signs such as snoring during sleep and awake, intolerance to physical exercise, dysphagia, reverse sneezing and cyanosis. The report aims to present the surgical techniques used for staphylectomy and rhinoplasty to correct respiratory distress in a French Bulldog canine.
