#DOXIE PIN DOG TRIAL#

Non-critical LP (not requiring immediate surgery).Recent, untreated diagnosis of LP OR clinical suspicion of LP (diagnosis will be confirmed prior to enrollment).Prospective randomized, placebo-controlled 1-month clinical trial.Д¤0 Labrador Retrievers with confirmed LP (20 placebo, 20 treatment) We will assess the clientвЂ™s impression of improvement using a standardized questionnaire as well as changes in vocal chord movement to determine whether this drug is effective in treating LP. We will examine the effect of doxepin administered for one month to Labrador Retrievers with non-critical LP and comparing it to a similarly administered placebo. However, no controlled studies have examined whether this effect is real, how frequently patients improve, how much they improve, and for how long the improvement is sustained.

Therefore, medical treatment that improved vocal chord function could provide a cheaper and safer alternative.Д¬linicians have observed improvement of LP after administering a drug called doxepin. Treatment is surgical, which relieves the obstruction of the airways, but predisposes the dog to pneumonia, and is expensive. Diagnosis is based on examining the movement of the vocal chords under anesthesia, and by ultrasound examination of the vocal chords. This interferes with breathing, clearance of debris from the airways, swallowing, and can result in heat stroke, pneumonia and death.

Prospective randomized clinical trial of doxepin in canine laryngeal paralysis.ДЄgeing Labrador Retrievers are often affected by a disorder causing paralysis of the vocal chords known as laryngeal paresis/paralysis (LP). You do not have permission to view this document: !
