This condition can alter the shape of a dog’s face and could lead to a pet's health being compromised. These dogs have a unique characteristic: narrowed nostrils.
Narrow ear canals
A brachycephalic patient's ear canal is more narrow than that of a normal patient. This condition causes abnormal pressure in the upper airway. This condition also causes swelling of the larynx. This prevents airflow. The result is laryngeal collapse, or OE. Patients suffering from this condition may experience symptoms like gagging and retching as well as fainting. The condition can also cause bluishness of the tongue and gums, which could be due to a lack in oxygen. This is a common symptom of OE and can be treated by undergoing a CT scan under anesthesia.
Deep skin folds
Skin fold dermatitis is a possibility in dogs with deep skin folds. This condition can be difficult to detect and is rarely documented in health records. Brachycephalic dogs are more likely to have shallower faces. However, they also share common dermatological disorders such as atopic and Malassezia.

Dogue de Bordeaux, Pinschers as well as Yorkshire terriers can also be affected. Patients with this condition are more likely to develop lung disease or respiratory complications.
