Specialized Laryngeal Paralysis Surgery for Pets in Whitehouse Station, NJ
At Hunterdon Hills Animal Hospital in Whitehouse Station, NJ, we specialize in laryngeal paralysis surgery for pets experiencing breathing difficulties due to this condition. Laryngeal paralysis occurs when the muscles controlling the vocal cords become weak, leading to compromised airflow and respiratory distress. Our experienced veterinary team is dedicated to providing effective surgical interventions to restore normal breathing and improve your pet's quality of life.
Laryngeal paralysis is often seen in older dogs and can manifest as noisy breathing, coughing, or even fainting during exertion. When conservative management strategies are insufficient, surgical intervention becomes necessary. During the procedure, our veterinarians will perform a laryngeal tie-back surgery, which involves securing the affected vocal cord to allow for unobstructed airflow. This surgery aims to alleviate breathing difficulties while minimizing the risk of aspiration pneumonia.
Post-surgery, we prioritize your pet's recovery and comfort. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions, including pain management, activity restrictions, and monitoring for any complications. We will closely follow your pet’s recovery process to ensure they are breathing comfortably and adapting well after surgery. Our goal is to help your pet regain a normal, healthy breathing pattern, allowing them to return to their everyday activities.
If your pet is experiencing symptoms of laryngeal paralysis or requires surgery, contact Hunterdon Hills Animal Hospital at (908) 534-2321. Our compassionate and knowledgeable team is here to support you and your pet throughout the treatment journey. Together, we can work towards restoring your beloved companion’s health and enhancing their quality of life.
