“…Laryngitis and dysphonia were relatively common, and seen almost exclusively in Huntaways. Possible causes for laryngitis in dogs include hypersensitivity, bacterial infection, viral infection, gastro-oesophageal refl ux disease, and neoplasia, whilst dysphonia without infl ammation can result from laryngeal hemiplegia (Yamamoto 1966;Wheeldon et al 1982;Venker-van Haagen 1992;Jackson-Menaldi et al 1999). However, excessive barking (hyperphonation) can lead to vocal damage and temporary vocal loss.…”

AIMS:To record the incidence of specifi c diseases affecting working farm dogs; identify any apparent breed predispositions; determine the most important causes of loss from death, euthanasia, or retirement of the dog; and identify potential interventions that could reduce the incidence of disease. METHODS:A national questionnaire-based cross-sectional study was conducted to identify the incidence of specifi c diseases, and circumstances of trauma affecting working farm dogs that presented to rural veterinary practices over a 12-month period, between April 2008 and April 2009. The practices were convenience-sampled on the basis of geography and size. RESULTS:Sixty-six practices were approached, and veterinarians from 30 practices agreed to participate, with representation from all major rural regions of New Zealand. Data were provided on 2,214 presentations, excluding revisits, of which 51% were for Huntaways and 39% Heading dogs. Trauma was identifi ed as a cause of injury in 848 (38%) visits. Huntaways were apparently over-represented in cases of constipation, gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV), theriogenological problems, laryngitis, hip dysplasia, and degenerative lumbosacral disease. In contrast, Heading dogs were over-represented among cases of multiple ligamentous injury of the stifl e, disruption of the gastrocnemius or Achilles tendon, tarsal injuries, and hip luxation. Traumatic injury involved injury by stock (20%), automotive incidents (19%), transit across fence lines (16%), and dog bites (12%). Loss occurred following 10% of visits, of which trauma was known to be involved in 32%. The most important nontraumatic causes of loss were GDV, degenerative joint disease, mammary neoplasia and diseases involving the female reproductive tract, cardiac disease, and poisoning.CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Several important diseases appear amenable to intervention through nutrition, neutering, or behavioural modifi cation, including constipation, GDV, theriogenological problems, dog-bite injuries, and laryngitis. Altering modes of transit across fence lines has the potential to reduce large numbers of serious orthopaedic injuries to working farm dogs.

“…In patients with dysphonia, the presence of inhalant allergy is considered to be a hidden though common cause of vocal cord dysfunction (2163). However, the presence of vocal cord edema has not been proved to be induced by allergic inflammation.…”
