Dog Laryngitis Symptoms

Dog laryngitis symptoms:

1. Cough is the main symptom of this disease. In the early stage, because there is not much exudate, it is mostly dry and painful short cough. With the increase of exudate, the cough is long and moist, and the pain is also relieved. The cough is aggravated by cold, often showing spasmodic cough, and vomiting is abnormal after coughing.

2. The throat is swollen, the head and neck are stretched, showing inspiratory dyspnea, and even suffocation in severe cases.

3. Throat palpation, due to swelling of the laryngeal mucosa and increased sensitivity, the sick dog has pain, dodges, shakes his head and stretches his neck.

4. Laryngeal auscultation, dry rales can be heard when the exudate is less and viscous. When the exudate is thin, the sound of large blisters can be heard. When the larynx is severely swollen and highly stenotic, a stenotic sound of the larynx can be heard.

5. Sick dogs sometimes bleed out serous, mucous or mucopurulent nasal fluid.

6. For mild laryngitis, systemic symptoms generally do not change significantly.

7. Severe laryngitis, elevated body temperature, increased pulse rate, and dyspnea.

8. Chronic laryngitis, long-term fever, dull cough, and hoarse cough. The larynx is slightly sensitive to palpation. Nasal and laryngoscopy revealed thickened and swollen mucosa, granular or nodular in shape.

Common causes of canine laryngitis:

1. Primary laryngitis is mainly caused by cold, chemical, thermal and mechanical stimulation.

2. Secondary laryngitis is often caused by the spread of inflammation in adjacent organs. During the onset of certain viral or bacterial infectious diseases (such as canine distemper, influenza, mycoplasma disease, canine adenovirus disease, etc.), laryngitis is often complicated.
