Answer for Does my Bulldog Need Soft Palate Surgery ELONGATED PALATE: On the other hand, elongated palate definitive diagnoses must be done under sedation even though on many occasions it is suspected if your bulldog is exhibiting stridor that gets worse during excitement or/and aerobic activity. I write about extensively here.
Answer for Does my Bulldog Need Soft Palate Surgery COST: Regarding cost, if your bulldog or French bulldog exhibiting signs consistent with elongated soft palate the surgery should be done sooner rather than later, it’s a progressive problem that can lead to many additional medical catastrophes.
The cost and risk to your pet will only get worse
Answer for Does my Bulldog Need Soft Palate Surgery VET’S: It is your and your bulldog’s best interest to get it done in a timely manner. Don’t shop around for prices, shop around for expertise. Most vet’s have limited experience with the breed, with the procedures, and with the required anesthetic safety and protocols.
