Post Info	TOPIC: Laryngeal Paralysis (LP)
Moderator Peg Veteran Member Posts: 47 Date: Thu May 21 15:27:18 2009	Laryngeal Paralysis (LP) Reply QuotePrinter Friendly LARYNGEAL PARALYSIS (LP) According to CVMBS Colorado State, a dog with laryngeal paralysis is 21 times more likely to develop megaesophagus, another neuromuscular (nervous system) disease.  The suggestion has been made that hypo- thyroidism may be a cause of laryngeal paralysis. This question is also not fully answered. We know that other neuropathies associated with hypothyroidism will respond to treatment for hypothyroidism but laryngeal paralysis in a hypothyroid dog will not. Resources: http://www.cvmbs.colostate.edu/clinsci/wing/emcases/answer15.htm Please also see: AVMA's journal entry, Follow-up on 39 cases, ( http://avmajournals.avma.org/doi/abs/10.2460/javma.228.8.1215) and discuss  the article with your Vet. There may be more promising updates (let's hope!)
