Abstract
A 5-year-old female Pomeranian was admitted for stridor on exertion during the past 2 months. Epiglottic retroversion was confirmed as the diagnosis based on fluoroscopy and laryngoscopy. The dog underwent permanent epiglottopexy. However, stridor recurred on day 6 because of epiglottopexy failure. On day 9, partial epiglottectomy was performed, and the stridor disappeared immediately following the surgery. The dog remains well without complications 45 months postoperatively.
