On today's episode of Twin Trees Vet Talk, we welcome our very special guest, Dr. Mike King. Dr. King is a Veterinary Surgery Specialist at Canada West Veterinary Specialists in Vancouver, BC (Canada). 

We discuss of the most common health problems requiring surgery in popular dog breeds such as labradors, golden retrievers, English bulldogs, French Bulldogs and rottweilers. We discuss hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, and brachycephalic airway syndrome. If you are interested in getting one of these breeds, make sure you know what health problems are lkely to come with that breed so that you can be prepared (get insurance ahead of time!). Make sure to watch our other videos about common eye and neurologic problems in certain breeds. We hope you enjoy this episode! Please leave your questions and comments below!
