Anyone who has any information or experience with a cat who has congenital laryngeal paralysis (CLP) please post a reply! Milagro was diagnosed at 8 months (he was too small prior to get a scope but has been like this since birth-he's a rescue) and had a surgical "tie-back" of his paralyzed vocal cords 2 weeks ago and it was not successful. The other surgery is not one I want to do because what little I can find is basicaly a for sure death sentence within a month. A permanent tracheostomy. I nursed this little one from 4 weeks old, all the while listening to him wheeze adn see him struggle to pull in air. As he grew (slowly-he's jsut now 5 lbs) he learned to compensate alot but he couldn't understand why he got so tired while trying to be a kitten! I am afraid to do anything more and afraid to not do anything...any words of wisdom are greatly appreciated.
