How is dog laryngitis treated?

Treatments for dog laryngitis

1. Strengthen nursing care: first remove the primary cause, put the sick dog in a warm and well-ventilated kennel, give soft and digestible food, and drink plenty of water to reduce irritation to the throat mucosa.

2. Eliminate inflammation: In order to promote the dissipation of inflammation, accelerate the absorption of exudate, and relieve pain, you can warm the throat with 10% hypertonic saline and magnesium sulfate solution, twice a day; rub 10% camphor alcohol, ichthyol ointment, etc. locally Stimulant, when the nasal fluid is viscous, use compound benzoin tincture, 1-2% sodium bicarbonate solution, 2% alum solution, 1-20lo tannic acid solution for inhalation. If the inflammation is severe, antibiotics and sulfa preparations can be applied. Penicillin can also be instilled into the throat.

3. Expelling phlegm and relieving cough: When cough occurs frequently, 0.05 g of morphine hydrochloride, 20 ml of almond water and fennel water can be used, and a spoonful is taken orally each time. Or codeine phosphate solution, 0.50/0 atropine sulfate solution 0.2-0.5 ml subcutaneous injection. Because atropine is antagonistic to acetylcholine, it has the effect of inhibiting parasympathetic nerves, and has an antitussive effect through its antispasmodic effect on bronchial smooth muscle.

4. For chronic laryngitis, astringent agents can be dripped into the laryngeal cavity, such as 0.1~0.3% silver nitrate, compound iodine solution and 1% alum solution.

5. If there is a risk of suffocation, the dog's tracheotomy should be performed immediately.

Causes of Laryngitis in Dogs

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. Some viral or bacterial infectious diseases (such as canine distemper, influenza, mycoplasma disease, canine adenovirus disease, etc.) are often complicated by laryngitis.
