My dog has larengeal paralysis. The doctor said they can do a surgery to correct it. He said I would have to do one side at a time and it would be 250 for first side then 3weeks come back to do the other. What surgery is this?

I am sorry to hear about Gunner! There are numerous surgical procedures used for dogs with laryngeal paralysis. I would ask your veterinarian if they can tell you the name of the procedure. I am attaching a link to an article on laryngeal paralysis that also includes a description of the various surgical procedures: http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=2331 . I hope that Gunner is feeling better soon!
