Summary This study describes right laryngeal hemiplegia (LH) and right‐sided Horner's syndrome (HS) in a horse. The average temperature of the face was 3.5°C higher on the right compared with the left side, as determined by thermographic imaging. The syndrome occurred following an episode of right mid‐cervical cellulitis due to inadvertent perijugular deposition of gentamicin.
