Overview
- Snoretox and RMIT reported in The Veterinary Journal that six bulldogs with severe BOAS breathed easier after the Snoretox-1 injection.
- The treatment delivers a modified tetanus toxin into the geniohyoid muscle under the tongue to boost muscle tone and hold the airway open.
- After dosing, all dogs finished a brisk three-minute walk they previously could not, with owners reporting less breathing noise and effort within days.
- Some dogs that gained little from earlier surgery improved, and several saw benefits that lasted for months.
- The therapy is not approved or on the market, and the team plans larger trials this year to evaluate safety, durability, and use across more breeds.
