Starr was a beautiful 11-yr old Black Lab, who suffered from Laryngeal Paralysis, where her larynx would not close completely when she swallowed, causing hacking and 'huffing and puffing', similar to when we swallow something, and it 'goes down the wrong pipe'. She had this for 7 months and thousands of dollars in tests (she was in no pain, but could not be cured) before finally getting aspiration pnemonia from saliva in her lungs. With broken hearts, we let her go in 2011 peacefully. We hope this helps someone recognize the condition if your pet has it. We miss her dearly..
