A whippet was referred to our hospital, for further assessment and treatment, two days after receiving bite wound to the neck. Physical examination and radiographs revealed caudal displacement of the larynx. At surgery, bilateral rupture of the thyrohyoideus muscle was discovered and repaired, returning the larynx to its normal position. The dog was discharged after 10 days and has only mild residual symptoms.
