She had her nares done yesterday..

Tgirl · Jul 14, 2016

So, Twiggy had her stenotic nare surgery yesterday. She is doing great! I was so worried, and just wanted to share my excitement.

She is just the best dog. Such a sweetheart!

Aww bless, hope she's feeling better soon

I collect my Frenchie 1 week today and have been OBSESSED with this site, been reading posts from way back in 2013 and seen various posts from you about how you wanted a Frenchie so bad, was wondering if you ever managed to get her, this post confirms it! xx

Awwww Twiggy! Hope she feels better ASAP! I think Rico will need his nares done eventually. He doesn't have any breathing difficulty yet but he has extremely narrow nares, and the vet thinks it may eventually be a possibility. I'll probably do it at the same time as his neuter if needed. A little doggy nose job! LOL. I'd love to see before/after pics of Twiggys nares. Here's a closeup of Rico's nares. Soooo narrow. His little mushroom nose lol

LOVE that little face!! yes, he most likely will need it and it is a good idea to do it sooner than later as the stress on the rest of the body can be avoided

I completely agree and that's my thought process to avoid cardiopulmonary stress, being proactive and having any potential breathing challenges addressed before they manifest.

I had just read that when you wrote it in another post, as I now obsessively scour the board for nare topics. Hahahaha. Looking at all the photos people have posted, I am shocked to say Rico has some of the tightest nares of them all! LOL. I want to start a thread "Post your nose job before and after pics" hahaha.

Little Rico is such a darling!

Yay...glad she is doing well!

davidh · Jul 15, 2016

Glad everything went well.

Tgirl · Jul 17, 2016

Thanks everyone. I'll try to get some pictures to post. I have been wanting to get this done. I was hoping they would do it when she was spayed, but the vet didn't feel comfortable keeping her under any longer than she had to so we waited. I am glad that I got it done before our beach trip in August. She still won't be able to be out in the heat of the day, but hopefully early morning and late evening she can enjoy some time on the beach.

I found a before picture that shows her nares pretty well. I'll try to get a good after one today.

I promise they aren't as tight as my boys! His poor nose is practically closed up! Vet is finally happy with his health so we started discussing surgery options. She's confident he'll be fit from nares and pallet surgery.

Her nose looks a lot like Titan's does. Poor thing! Glad she got her surgery! She'll be breathing so much better!
