Good day. Dominic Barfield here and this is the obviously clinical podcast. Thank you for listening

and thank you for subscribing on your smartphone or generic fruit-based device. Really grateful

for you taking the time to download and listen to this obviously podcast and we don't ask for

much in return but we're incredibly grateful if you could pop to up a podcast or ACAST and leave us a review.

Obviously a five-star review would be great. You can leave lower star reviews to other podcasts. But we really appreciate a couple of minutes to your time to leave us a review.

So joining Brian and myself in this new year, in the same studio, mind you,

not a new studio yet, is Dr. Stephen Dedecker, one of our senior lecturers here

in neurology and neurosurgery at the RVC.

Thank you, Stephen, for joining us.

It's a pleasure.

And today we thought we'd discuss about brachycephalics,

and in particular the spinal abdomalities and problems that they have,

which seems to be an increasing, I suppose,

like issue or awareness that we have with a breed that's continuing

to gain in popularity.

So as far as everyone's sort of aware, and we've actually spoken to Linda Rutherford about

the brachysophallics and their respiratory problems, and we'll talk about Rowena and the research that she's doing in brachycephalics and their respiratory problems and which we take about Rowena and the research

that she's doing and in brachycephalics as well but so how did you get interested in looking at the

skeletal abnormalities of brachycephalics and and why is the neurology service and you as a neurologist

interested in it's a it's a quite interesting and I think it went all very quick because when I moved from

Belgium here to do England, screw-tale brachyphalics like the French bulldog, the pub, they

are not that popular, but especially in the French bullock we have seen in the most recent years, a dramatic, dramatic search in the popularity.
