Brachycephalic breeds have a specific physical conformation, and their anatomy cannot be altered or cured. However, some of the health problems associated with brachycephalic breeds can be managed or treated. For example, respiratory problems, which are common in brachycephalic dogs, may be managed with medication or surgery. Some dogs may benefit from weight loss, while others may require surgery to remove excess tissue in their airways. Dental problems, which are also common in brachycephalic breeds, may be prevented or managed with proper dental care, including regular tooth brushing and professional dental cleanings. Eye problems, such as entropion or dry eye, may also be managed with medication or surgery. Heat sensitivity can be managed by keeping brachycephalic dogs cool in hot weather and avoiding strenuous exercise during the hottest parts of the day. While these interventions may improve the quality of life of brachycephalic dogs, they do not cure the underlying conformational issues associated with these breeds.
