Today joining Brian and myself in the studio is Lynda Rutherford, one of our small animal surgery lecturers here at the RVC. We have a chat about Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome, or Brachycephalic Airway Syndrome. Although we are back in the studio, there seemed to be lots of chat going on outside, apologies. We discuss about objective measurements prior to the surgery, what clients ask about and where are we going to see improvements in their management for the future. For all those budding surgeons out there, it seems that we have hit a hot topic with a number of veterinary specialist surgeons getting together to discuss this at ECVS in Athens next month: https://www.ecvs.org/services/asm_2018.php  We hope that you enjoy our conversation.
