Success Rates And Risks

Reported Success

The American College of Veterinary Surgeons reports about 75 percent of dogs improve with rings and about 95 percent are immediately improved with stents.

Reported Risks

Embrace Pet Insurance cites about 10 percent of dogs developing laryngeal paralysis after surgery and about 5 percent mortality. Ask each hospital for its own numbers.

A procedure manages the collapse. It does not cure it. Most dogs still need some medicine and care at home afterward.
