Treatment Options for
Laryngeal Paralysis in Dogs
Veterinary-Medical Treatment vs. Managing Lar Par Symptoms
Veterinary Procedures vs. Medications
There is no cure for laryngeal paralysis in dogs, so you have to decide whether you’ll 1) pursue a veterinary procedure to help your dog breathe, such as a laryngeal stent or surgery or 2) try to manage the condition with medications like Doxepin or Cerenia or with alternative approaches such as accupuncture or naturopathic remedies.

Veterinary-Medical Treatment vs. Treatment Alternatives
There are two veterinary procedures to treat laryngeal paralysis in dogs and a variety of approaches to managing laryngeal paralysis symptoms without veterinary-medical treatment:
- Laryngeal Stent — stenting provides a non‑surgical, minimally‑invasive veterinary-medical treatment option for your LarPar dog.
- Surgery — In 2023, surgery is the most widely-available veterinary-medical treatment option, but it’s also the most expensive.
- Alternatives —Laryngeal paralysis can’t be effectively treated without surgery or a stent implant, but some medications and alternative approaches may help mitigate and manage some of the more severe symptoms of laryngeal paralysis.
