Abstract

Brachycephalic syndrome affects brachycephalic patients and is caused by primary and secondary components, which in turn have important systemic consequences. Some of these consequences are noticeably noticed by tutors, such as snoring, dyspnoea, sleep problems and exercise intolerance. With the increasing acquisition of these races and veterinarians care, it is important that the information profile about the syndrome, its effects, diagnosis and possible forms of treatment are evaluated. In this way, the main objective of this study is to evaluate the information profile of tutors and veterinarians regarding the subject by means of a questionnaire applied by online platform.
