    BOAS surgery

    Hi - We are about to have this done for our girl too. Both her nose (nares) and soft palate. If you're hearing that noise then it's definitely needed! My girl's isn't that bad as she can walk 2 miles no problem. But she gets so excited around people and I'll hear a slight clicking noise when she...

    How do Docs code BOAS surgery? (for insurance purposes)

    Thanks! - the insurance will contact the hospital directly for all the paperwork. So it's out of my hands. But after looking over all of her documents - I should get most of it back since we are way past her deductible being met. When she had to stay in the ER for pneumonia for 36 hrs - it cost...

    How do Docs code BOAS surgery? (for insurance purposes)

    Thanks so much for your help! I will search her documents and hopefully that's not under the "not covered part". I'm so freaking nervous but have put it off long enough. She needs it for sure. She'll be 3 in December. But it hasn't been a major issue until now. I notice it more when she's...

    Hello! This is Zelda :)

    I've been a member here for a bit and come searching when I have questions. Everyone has been so helpful. I've finally uploaded a few pictures of my girl and wanted to properly introduce ourselves. We got her 5 months after we lost our 3 1/2 year old daughter, Brooklyn. She has saved me in so...

    How do Docs code BOAS surgery? (for insurance purposes)

    Hi - I'm getting things in order to take Zelda to have BOAS surgery. I've been quoted 4500 and I'm double checking her insurance to make sure most of it will be covered. How have vet facilities and doctors worded it for anyone that has gone through this (in the US)? I'm looking at her policy and...

    Insurance for English bulldogs...??? Yay or Nay??

    I would get insurance asap! The longer you wait and the "more issues" they have - the insurance company can deny and say they are "pre-existing conditions". I use Nationwide's Major Medical with a Wellness rider. 65 a month. 250 deductible which we met in one appointment. So, now we get money...

    Brachycephalic surgery for 3yr old male

    Hi - I'm in the same situation with my 2 year old female bulldog. Our regular vet only does the "nose part" and not the palate. My girl exhibits the same symptoms as your boy and has been hospitalized with pneumonia once. I'm leaning towards MedVet in Copley/Akron area. I've also been given...

    Advice Greatly Appreciated

    Oh ok - I'll have to check that out. Thanks. And I'm using the Douxo Calm Shampoo on her. She also gets Cytopoint - it helps some but this month seems to be worse and nothing had changed before I changed her food. My main goal was to always prevent her issues from getting worse. So she's not...
