Аннотация
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to investigate the awareness for the breed-related brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) and the occurrence of other breed-typical diseases within the framework of an online survey for pug owners.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: A digital questionnaire for owners was created, distributed via social media and subsequently evaluated.
RESULTS: The questionnaire was completed by 1220 pug owners. According to the owners, 32 % (344/1073) of the animals that did not undergo airway dilatation surgery show slight and 3 % (34/1073) show distinct breathing sounds when at rest. 86 % (326/378) of the owners perceive these breathing sounds as "normal, breed-specific" and 14 % (51/378) consider them as sign of "disease". 20 % (210/1073) of the animals are considered "somewhat" and 5 % (57/1073) "frequently tired and quickly short of breath" after a small amount of time. 24 % (245/1220) of all animals suffer from ocular diseases, 10 % (122/1220) from skin diseases and 11 % (134/1220) from spinal diseases, among others.
CONCLUSION: The survey shows that with 67 % (814/1220) more than half of the pug owners perceive clinical signs of BOAS and/or other breed-specific diseases in their animals, however, a large proportion consider these as being non-problematic.
CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The present study reveals that the animals' clinical limitations associated with brachycephaly are oftentimes not perceived as being pathologic and are hence underestimated by the owners.
