Here, two German cases are reported. CASE PRESENTATION: Two rams showed severe and progressive signs of dyspnea. Endoscopically, a severe bilateral swelling of the larynx was identified in both rams. Due to poor prognosis and progression of clinical signs one ram was euthanized, while the other ram died overnight.

Fusobacterium necrophorum and Streptococcus ovis were isolated from the laryngeal lesion in one animal. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first report of ovine laryngeal chondritis in continental Europe. This entity should be considered a differential diagnosis for upper airway disease in sheep. Text Iceland PubMed Central (PMC) New Zealand Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica 62 1
