Abstract: The increasing popularization of brachycephalic breeds has made Brachycephalic Syndrome a frequent condition in the routine of small animal clinic. This syndrome is characterized by congenital and acquired anatomical alterations that cause insufficiency or even complete obstruction of the upper airways, leading to moderate to severe cases of acute respiratory failure and hyperthermia. The aim of the present report was to describe the case of a 4-year-old male French bulldog, with some of these alterations, who underwent clinical and surgical care and treatment for this disease. The patient was admitted with acute respiratory failure, with hyperthermia, low level of consciousness and cyanosis. Immediately, a severe stenosis of the nostril was identified and soft palate hyperplasia was suspected, due to the respiratory stridor and history of the animal. Emergency medical treatment was instituted in order to restore oximetry and restore physiological body temperature. After the restoration of vital signs, complementary exams were requested and the surgical procedure of rhinoplasty and staphylectomy was scheduled to correct the congenital alterations that caused the condition. In terms of results, it was found that the techniques used were satisfactory in terms of reducing respiratory distress and episodes of choking, regurgitation or vomiting.
