Coughing is a common presentation in small animal practice, which can be caused by either heart or respiratory tract disease.
Rational antibiotic choices for bacterial pneumonia in dogs (Proceedings)
Antibiotic therapy is obviously one of the most important modes by which bacterial infections are treated, and the lungs are no exception.
Treating canine bacterial pneumonia: Beyond antibiotics (Proceedings)
In most patients with pneumonia, antibiotic therapy should be considered part of an overall management scheme, rather than the only treatment.
Dealing with dyspneic cats (Proceedings)
Dyspneic cats are frequently presented to clinicians as emergencies. Because they are fragile and very easily stressed, it is a good idea to have a planned, rational and quickly implementable strategy for their management.
Managing pneumonia in puppies (Proceedings)
Puppies are predisposed to acute infectious tracheobronchitis, which can progress to pneumonia, because they are often physiologically stressed by changes in ownership and new environments.
Initial stabilization of dogs in respiratory distress (Proceedings)
Respiratory changes occur frequently in small animal patients. It is important to recognize, however, that not all changes in respiration are caused by disease of the respiratory system.
Diagnostic techniques for the respiratory tract (Proceedings)
Transtracheal aspiration allows samples to be obtained from the airways for cytologic and microbiologic evaluation.
Respiratory disasters and how we managed them-Part 1 (Proceedings)
Ventilation is the ability of the chest wall and diaphragm to move an adequate volume of air into the chest.
