Elongated soft palate in bulldogs and French bulldogs elongated soft palate is an abnormality that can cause increased airway resistance, as well as an increase in negative intra-airway pressure, laryngeal fatigue, and irreversible laryngeal atrophy.
The condition is exasperated by excitement or/and activity and manifested by a loud breathing sound (stridor). It often progresses to retching, hyperthermia, and life-threatening cardio, circulatory and respiratory collapse.

Stenotic Nares (pinched nares) are part of the flat face (brachycephalic) syndrome. The nasal airflow restricted by the atrophied collapsed nasal cartilage increases the negative intra-airway pressure.
Bulldogs and Fr. Bulldogs with pinched nose exhibit snoring, hacking & retching, and breathing difficulty. Severe chronic stenotic nares can lead to cyanosis and potential life-threatening cardio, circulatory and respiratory collapse.

Brachycephalic Syndrome or Brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BCS, BOAS) is also called the “Flat Face Dog Syndrome, which includes the elongated soft palate, pinched nose, saccules, and hypoplastic trachea.
The condition is most noticeable during excitement and activity by the harsh, loud breathing sound (stridor), snorting, and often cyanosis, retching, hyperthermia, and collapse.

Everted Laryngeal Saccules are a secondary outcome to the better-known primary bulldog obstructive airway syndrome conditions (BOAS). When the saccules evert, they appear as bulging tissue at the two sides of the larynx.
Noisy respiration and intolerance to any excitement, exercise, and activities. Hacking retching and regurgitation are common.
