I have been getting more and more concerned with Pierce's breathing. Even throughout the winter months, when the temps would be in the 50's and 60's he would get so winded and have so much phlegm. It also happens anytime he gets excited. Randy finally agreed there was a problem (he was in denial for awhile) when the regurgitation started. He saw our vet last week and she agreed the surgery would help. We are lucky to have a Vet specialty clinic here that has a surgeon with a lot of experience with this surgery. Pierce will go have labwork done today at our vet office and she will call and see when she can get him scheduled. We are hoping it will be before the end of this week. If not, it will be next week. We will let the surgeon make the call on the nares. I think they will end up being done also.
We have Healthy Paws insurance and they do cover Bracheocephalic syndrome. I talked with them yesterday, just to double check. That was the reason I chose them. Now, I am glad I did.

Sending lots of positive thoughts and well wishes to you and Pierce... please keep us posted
 
Poor baby. Glad that he's getting the surgery and he will breathe easier! Good luck! [emoji173]️
 
Aww, poor pup! I'm glad he can have surgery to help him out. Good luck and let us know how it goes!
 
Pierce will feel so much better after he is all healed up from the surgery. :heart:
 
Well wishes being sent your way! Hope he has a speedy recovery and can breathe a lot better after the surgery.
 
We will keep him in our thoughts, and I'm sure he will come through it fine. we did one of our English some years back and he did very well through the whole process and the recovery time went by fast. Your boy will breath so much better after it, you will be glad you had it done, and so will he,
 
Poor baby. He will be better off in the long run though. Good luck Pierce!
 
Surgery is set for tomorrow morning. I will update everyone once he is home!
