Just spoken to the owner of Marley, the Dogue De Bordeaux that very sadly died 
yesterday. Marley was three years old and seemed to be in excellent health 
earlier in the day. On the way out of Crufts she collapsed and vets were 
quickly on the scene. Laryngeal paralysis was the diagnosis and the decision 
was taken to let her go as quality of life would have been very poor if 
extraordinary means were used. This was the first anyone knew of Marley having 
any health issues. Marley had had her hips done under anaesthetic about a year 
ago and until yesterday there had been no sign of any health problem but the 
Crufts vets felt this was a ticking time bomb and it could have happened at any 
time. Happening at Crufts meant that vet's were close and suffering kept to a 
minimum. It was devastating to Marley's owners but the have vowed to find out 
everything they can about laryngeal paralysis so that they can help prevent 
this happening to anyone else. My Googling shows that it is often idiopathic - 
I've come across it in Dalmatians. I am sure we all send them our love and 
support on such a very sad and traumatic event. If you see any comments 
suggesting overheating being the cause please direct people to this statement 
as there was nothing Marley's owners could have done differently to save her.
