@parktrumpski Thanks for pic- snow looks good

@JemimaHarrison Nostrils are definitely brachy creep - width of head also depressing

@KitchenBee So sorry Bee but glad you were with her. My much loved grandfathers carving set - warms the heart whenever used

@neurovet_clare @RescueBliss Lovely !

@JemimaHarrison Terrible and definitely cruel

[Jane Ladlow @JaneLadlow]

@JemimaHarrison So bad

@RossAllanVet @burrellcollect @Glasgow_Live @GlasgowMuseums @Grim_Raspberry @VetHistSoc @JaneRVN This was a super interesting paper. I look forward to seeing if Griffons have nasal anatomy like pugs- so far CKCS and affenpinschers look a bit similar …

@mhain4 @ThatVetSean @CarlaPuime Thanks Meggan. Understand it’s a tricky area but functionally there was an improvement this year. Other stuff to work on…

[Jane Ladlow @JaneLadlow]

Great day at Crufts yesterday, over 40 dogs health tested. Only one dog with audible breathing near the ring. This is a massive improvement compared to ten years ago. Many thanks @CarlaPuime, Laura Hamilton and Katy Price

@JemimaHarrison @TracyWeston11 I think the welsh recently successfully prosecuted a bully kennel. I would happily testify if this kennel was challenged legally

[Jane Ladlow @JaneLadlow]

@ThatVetSean @CarlaPuime @UK_BWG I think we have some work to do with the judges. I have volunteered to do some health days with the judges, hopefully now things are opening up this will be done @TheKennelClubUK

@mhain4 @ThatVetSean @CarlaPuime 20 years of researching and talking about BOAS- not an easy life - and you choose to personally insult me ?

[Jane Ladlow @JaneLadlow]

@ThatVetSean @CarlaPuime Hi Sean, I didn’t see all the classes-sorry. 10 years ago most dogs had obvious BOAS. On Saturday nearly all dogs were quiet. Not saying there aren’t other issues (in many breeds). But we shouted about the breathing and the dogs have changed.

[Jane Ladlow @JaneLadlow]

@JemimaHarrison Encouraging - any others? Did look at the puli last night but honestly had no idea what they look like under that coat …😊

[Jane Ladlow @JaneLadlow]

@neurovet_clare I need to try and find it now purely for the Monty Python walk 😊well done you guys!

[Jane Ladlow @JaneLadlow]

@lil_kdoo11 Potential patent urachus - often not visible unless clipped and only tiny hole so not incontinent but UTI - still young though ..,

[Jane Ladlow @JaneLadlow]

@TheWilderThings What’s cute about airway obstruction?

[Jane Ladlow @JaneLadlow]

@JemimaHarrison @TheKennelClubUK @UK_BWG Hi Jemima, agree these nostrils are not good. The RFG scheme is on the actual breathing so we do get some dogs with poor nostrils that grade well. But we do mention it constantly and hopefully people will notice and start to comment …

Sometimes finding the original anatomical descriptions can help you understand a modern problem. Looking at these diagrams and descriptions of c2 nerve root and ganglion by Sherrington helps me understand phantom scratching in cervical Syringomyelia. And they are beautiful.

Really thought provoking stream at WSAVA on how to work together to improve brachy health
