Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Zippy! Possible causes are: viral infections (causing edema or swelling), strain of the vocal chords, infection or abscess or foreign body (needle for example), neurologic disorder, trauma (externally or internally) or a mass on her vocal chords. Since it has been a month I would have her seen by your Vet. I would do blood work, neck X-ray then sedate her to look down her throat. I hope this helps! I wish Zippy the very best!
