Thank you so much for this information. Julia has not had any trauma to the neck that we can think of...she lives in an adult home and spends most of her time indoors or in an enclosed backyard lolling on a deck.
I don't feel this is a stroke situation either. All the involvement is on the right side of her head..her mouth on the right side is very slack and drools profusely...she can't seem to chew food anymore so we mush it up for her to swallow down in small pieces....she doesn't lick anymore..not herself, or anything else..she can't bark at all..her right eye is sunken in the socket with the lower lid drooping.
Our Vet made the laryngeal diagnosis when she was under anasthesia for the xrays of her chest...the flaps are open and won't close...I thought it was the other way around but my husband corrected me.
Other than all of this, she is healthy and still has a good appetite, and is very aware of everything going on around her.
