Zusammenfassung:	An 8-month-old golden retriever/standard poodle mixed breed dog was diagnosed with cricopharyngeal dysphagia and possibly asynchrony. After failing standard unilateral cricopharyngeal myectomy, the dog underwent a second surgery to completely resect the contralateral musculature resulting in immediate and complete resolution of clinical signs. Bilateral myectomy can be considered for dogs with cricopharyngeal dysphagia that fail unilateral myectomy.
