Question 1 of 3

Laryngeal paralysis is a common disorder of older, large-breed dogs.

Although the etiology is usually unknown, trauma and neoplasia can cause laryngeal paralysis. Which of the following conditions can also cause laryngeal paralysis?

  • A.

    Diabetes mellitus

  • B.

    Hyperadrenocorticism

  • C.
