What is canine laryngeal paralysis? Canine laryngeal paralysis occurs when the arytenoid cartilages and vocal cords do not abduct properly during inspiration, causing: stridor inspiratory dyspnoea exercise intolerance cyanosis respiratory crises. In this context, the silicone laryngeal stent may be a minimally invasive alternative, useful in both emergency situations and chronic management or post-surgical laryngeal stenosis. In a series of seven dogs, the placement of a sili

When we talk about laryngeal paralysis in dogs, we often think of an obvious diagnosis. But in clinical practice, the signs can be progressive, intermittent, and easy to confuse with other respiratory causes. This is what Aurora's story shows us (image 1). In this article, we share his progress and how, thanks to the work of veterinarian Dr Diego Lima (Brazil), the case was treated with a minimally invasive and effective option: an ABTVet silicone laryngeal stent, available
