Comfy w/ my vet...but not at all yet w/ the surgery or surgeon at our vet's practice bc I don't know near enough about it...I have 1,000 questions...(will prob. get 2nd opinion w/ an ENT, or similar, where Wy was seeing his Internist and Derm...)

I have a friend who rescues Bostons. I will ask her about the surgery. She tells me about a lot of their surgeries, but I don't recall this one. I have heard about it in the past but have never heard about the surgery.

I was recently told one of my fosters may have it. She "snorts" a lot and snores during the night. My vet said her palate may be elongated, but did not make much of it. It really does not seem to bother her or thank goodness be very bad.

Is he doing something really bad? What are his symptoms?
