Judy/Gwen could you please email me regarding laryngeal paralysis?
Submitted by Jacinda and the... on April 21, 2010 - 12:10amI have a friend who rushed their 5 year old Lab to the ER last night because she was choking. The ER Vet believes she either has laryngeal paralysis or bronchitis. I told them to get a second opinion. This dog was rescued from it's first owner and they don't have her medical history. They have had her for two weeks. Any help or advise you can give them would be greatly appreciated.

Jacinda my friend just lost her dog to this
He probably had this for a long time, but within the past two years, he had gotten worse, couldn't go outside in the heat, could only walk short periods, about 10 minutes, he used to walk for an hour. I spoke with my friend today, Quincy passed away last week. She said she reaqlly didn't do anything medicaiton wise until the end. She just couldn't let him get excited--happy or upset, because it would cause him to have an episode. Stress the fact that the dog has to be kept calm and cool at all times. The winter will be better of course. Her vet told her she cold give benedryl. When he would have an episode, he would struggle as he stuggled it would get worse, so she found that if she fed him ice cubes it would reduce the gasping. Finally last weekend he just couldn't get a breath and they had to put him donw. It is a progressive disease, but managable in the early stages.
