Hi, I'm new to group and a mom of 4 furbabies. I am not asking for advice, but am asking if anyone has experience with this issue.
I have a sweet little girl that will be needing surgery for bilateral laryngeal paralysis. She's is currently being treated medically, but I fear that the time is coming that we will need to proceed with this surgery soon. The only information so far that I have been able to get is what the surgery is and how it's performed by my vet. I was also given information about statistics on it and such, but they are old and go back like 10 years. I've also done online searches and come up with pretty much the same clincal information.
My husband and I have been apprehensive about doing the surgery only because of the problems that may arrive after the surgery. After the surgery there can be issues with (2 of my biggest fears) aspiration pneumonia and choking resulting in death and of course the normal complications with surgery.
I've known one person who had the procedure done on a black lab, but no one who has had it performed on a cat. I would just like to find out if there is someone out there who has had this done that would be able to give me some after the surgery "what to expect" kind of information.
