Abstract
A four-month-old Japanese Black calf with stridor was diagnosed with a subepiglottic cyst and aspiration pneumonia. Despite treatment, the calf died 17 days after hospital admission. The present case suggests a link between the presence of the subepiglottic cyst and the development of aspiration pneumonia.
