A 4 yr old spayed female Labrador retriever was referred for acute respiratory distress and was found to have bilateral laryngeal paralysis. Physical examination and biochemical testing were consistent with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and did not reveal a likely alternative cause for the laryngeal paralysis. Following immunosuppressive and supportive treatment, the dog regained normal laryngeal function. At a scheduled follow-up examination 6 wk later, normal laryngeal function was confirmed via sedated laryngeal examination. Laryngeal paralysis associated with SLE has been reported in humans, but this is the first known report of acquired laryngeal paralysis associated with SLE in the dog.
一只4岁已绝育的雌性拉布拉多寻回犬因急性呼吸窘迫前来就诊，被发现患有双侧喉麻痹。体格检查和生化检测结果与系统性红斑狼疮（SLE）相符，未发现可能导致喉麻痹的其他原因。经过免疫抑制和支持治疗后，这只狗恢复了正常的喉功能。在6周后的定期随访检查中，通过镇静状态下的喉部检查确认喉功能正常。人类中已有与SLE相关的喉麻痹报道，但这是已知的首例与SLE相关的获得性犬喉麻痹报告。
