Unless BOTH nostrils are pinched and the puppy has a clear, snotty discharge or shows signs of easily becoming tired or has to open it's mouth to breath then DO not get the surgery!

Vets have found a new money maker in their little "snips".

The surgery is ONLY lifesaving when the puppy can not breath through its nostrils and it is effecting it's health by having to breath though its mouth or has a nasel discharge upon any exercise or excitement.
