MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Laryngeal paralysis is most commonly seen in Labrador Retrievers, but it can occur in a variety of dogs, especially in large breeds. Congenital laryngeal paralysis has been noted in Bouvier des Flandres, Dalmatians, Siberian Huskies, Rottweilers, American Staffordshire Terriers and Black Russian Terriers.

Detailed explanation-2: -The disease may occur from birth (congenital disease) in some animals (e.g. Bouvier de Flanders, Bull Terriers and Dalmatians especially). Trauma (e.g. neck surgery or bite wounds) and cancerous infiltration of the nerve (e.g. from a throat or neck mass) may also be cause in some dogs.

Detailed explanation-3: -The clinical signs of laryngeal paralysis vary widely. Unfortunately, laryngeal paralysis is probably more common than it is diagnosed. It usually affects middle-aged and older dogs. Medium and large breeds are more likely to develop the condition.
