Treatment Options for
Laryngeal Paralysis in Dogs
Veterinary 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.
What’s a veterinary procedure for LarPar?
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 2025, 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.
