Abstract
A 6-month-old castrated male poodle presented with a cough, dysphagia, and regurgitation. Cricopharyngeal achalasia (CPA) was diagnosed by clinical history and a fluoroscopic examination. The animal received a botulinum toxin (BTX) injection but symptoms had not resolved by three days after injection. Thus, a cricopharyngeal and thyropharyngeal muscle myotomy was performed and immediately the clinical signs resolved. This report describes successful correction of CPA with myotomy after failure of BTX injection in a dog.
