Hi- I took Buddy. my 2 1/2 year old male ebd to the non profit vet in my area for his yearly blood work and the vet there said he definitely looks like he could benefit from the stenotic nare enlargement. I know he's right. at times I hear Buddy whistling through his nose. One side evidently is worst than the other. I called my vet to have the vet there who did Buddy's p/u surgery back a year or so ago call me but Simmons vet has changed. Evidently it is now The VCA / Simmons vet and the owner has sold part or some of his business to this large corporation who is nationwide. There are only 2 of the original vets remaining there that have been there for any length of time ( out of 9) and one- I do not like nor trust. I have a question- Is this a pretty basic surgery for these types of dogs ? ( Bulldog's. Frenchie's. Pug's ect) that need it - In that meaning, should I be overly concerned as to the vet who does the surgery or is it basic enough where ( under great care of course) that I need not be picky as to the vet who does it? Also I am going to ask them to look at his palate while he is sedated to see how it looks but I do not think I want Buddy to go through both at the same time. The breeder said his Dad and Mom's paletes were fine and if I choose to do his nare's to ask them to just open them slightly ( like they'll listen right) Thanks everyone
