Imagine having a vacuum attached to your mouth every time you try to breathe—this is what short nosed dogs with airway obstruction can face. It’s not just about breathing, aerogastric disorders create pressure that cause inflammation of the esophagus (esophagitis), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), & even hiatal hernias. It’s all connected. So when a dog struggles to breathe, it’s a whole-body animal welfare issue. The good news is that the majority of dogs with airway issues will see improvement in their stomach issues as well—especially the number one most affected breed, French Bulldogs.
