Sorry, this isn’t the typical case I post here, but it’s interesting and I’m fishing for some help…
15 Week old puppy presents in acute, severe respiratory distress w/ marked inspiratory distress and a “squeak” in the layrnx on inspiration. Started w/in 15 minutes of coming in from outside, although the owners noted a day or two of mild wheezing that didn’t really affect the puppy. Also no Hx of this puppy having problems prior to this.

Initally treated for Acute Anaphylaxis w/ Epi, Dexamethasone and Oxygen. He did respond well…but anytime he exerts himself he’s back the the distress.
Sedated and took these video clips…Look awful suspicious of LP to me; I’ve just not seen it in a puppy before. I’m assuming congenital and very possibly associated w/ a polyneurpathy???
Just wondering if anyone has seen these present acutely or if I’m missing something. Radiographs don’t show FB but there is a heavy Caudal/Dorsal alveolar pattern worse on the Left.
