Boston Terrier Health Issues – Brachycephalic Syndrome
I’ve been reading about some boston terrier health issues that have been bugging my terrier. So while reading, I got to know more about the different common sickness and illnesses that terriers can have and will tend to contract.
So here I am sharing with you some of my findings.
Some of them are brachycephalic syndrome, patellar luxation, hemivertebrae, sensorineural deafness, and eye problems.
Even though Boston Terriers are generally healthy, and long-lived dogs. They are still susceptible to the more common diseases that affects all dogs such as bordetella, distemper and parvovirus.
One of the more common health problems is the Brachycephalic Syndrome. This syndrome is a combination of upper airway disorders that cause airflow resistance in the upper respiratory tract (nose and larynx) in short-nosed breeds of dogs.
The cause is related to the shortened bones of these dogs’ flattened faces without a proportionate shortening of the overlying soft tissues. The excess soft tissue leads to airway compromise. The most common conditions include: stenotic nares (pinched nostrils), elongated soft palate, and everted laryngeal saccules.

Boston Terrier Jogging
When I went for my usual jog in the evening at a nearby park to de-stress, I met some of my old jogging friends. There is one particular elderly jogger who always bring his dog, a jack russell terrier, to jog with him.
To my utter disappointment as always, I could not beat him in jogging. Believe me, his speed is amazing. He jogs like he is in his peak days and he is already into his fifties. But one thing that always puzzled me is that his jack russell can still manage to keep up with his speed. Well, I should think it is the difference of having two legs to run and having four legs to run or he is just super fast.
Well, as I jogged past the usual track I saw a new jogger and he was holding onto a leash to a dog. Upon reaching closer and passing by, I saw that his dog is the boston terrier that we have always loved. He was just jogging beside his owner. I can see that he enjoys that run although to that boston terrier, I should think that the pace is slightly fast but manageable.
So it just dawned onto me that we should keep our pets healthy by making sure they have sufficient exercise too. We can also have another bonding session with our dogs. Do not just keep your dog in the house and feed him without much exercise. One day, you might find that your dog becomes heavier when he pounce onto you. That’s when you realize that exercise is what your dog lack in.
It can also be fun to exercise with your dog. You can even incorporate training into the exercise regime. Take a frisbee for example, you can play with the frisbee and command your dog to retrieve it. Adding some difficulty may be teaching and commanding your dog to jump up and catch it while it is about to come down.
It will definitely be fun for both you and your dog. Try it and you might even be ready to have a go at it the next day.
Well, that’s my thoughts on that. Anyone has any comments to add, feel free to add it.
