Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To determine the effectiveness of unilateral arytenoid lateralisation as a surgical treatment for laryngeal paralysis in dogs. DESIGN: The case records of 100 dogs that received a unilateral arytenoid lateralisation for laryngeal paralysis between 1992 and 2000 were reviewed. The results of questionnaires on surgical outcome, formulated for the animal owner and the referring veterinarian, were analysed. Information obtained for dogs under 10 kg and dogs over 10 kg was analysed separately. RESULTS: The Labrador Retriever was the most commonly affected breed. The male:female ratio was 1.56:1 and the average age of presentation was 9.9 years. The most common month in which surgery was performed was October. The majority of owners (87.7%) felt that their dog's quality of life was improved in the 6 months after surgery. Thirty-three percent of dogs revisited the referring clinic with a respiratory problem following unilateral arytenoid lateralisation, and 10.7% of dogs were reported as having a post-surgical complication associated with the procedure. Following surgery, dogs under 10 kg revisited the referring veterinarian with a respiratory complication more often than dogs over 10 kg. Significantly fewer owners of dogs under 10 kg than owners of dogs over 10 kg felt that their dogs quality of life was improved by surgery (55% versus 93%). CONCLUSION: The majority of owners surveyed reported that unilateral arytenoid lateralisation had improved the quality of their dog's life during the first 6 postoperative months. Owner dissatisfaction with the results of surgery and the reported rate of re-presentation (for respiratory disease) may be higher for small (< 10 kg) dogs. A prospective study comparing the results of unilateral arytenoid lateralisation surgery in large and small dogs may be worthwhile in the future.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
