Pugs in the Wild (and Other Brachycephalic Eye Myths): A Vet2Vet Conversation

This enlightening Vet2Vet presentation features the unique eye health challenges faced by brachycephalic breeds such as Pugs, French Bulldogs, Shih Tzus, and Persian cats. It begins by defining Brachycephalic Ocular Syndrome (BOS) and highlighting its impact on the ocular health of affected animals. The session progresses to explore effective treatment options and preventive measures for BOS issues, including exposure keratopathy, dry eye, and ocular trauma with an emphasis on corneal ulcers. The importance of early intervention by both the pet owner and the veterinarian is discussed. Participants will gain valuable insights into safeguarding the eye health of our quirky, maddening, and often unlucky brachycephalic patients.
