Bronchial pneumonia can be divided into acute and chronic, with clinical symptoms ranging from mild to severe, and are life-threatening to varying degrees.
Family: Respiratory Disease
What medicine should I take for bronchitis in dogs
Symptoms: shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, listlessness, anorexia, dehydration
[Cause of the disease]
Bronchopneumonia is a disease caused by secondary invasion of primary pathogens or various infectious bacteria, or it may be accompanied by the inhalation of respiratory, toxic or irritating substances. Bronchial rock refers to inflammation caused by bronchial and lung parenchymal infections. Bronchial contraction and alveolar edema lead to the loss of lung exchange capacity in dogs, and excessive blood oxygen causes difficulty breathing, which leads to the body requiring a large amount of oxygen supply.
【Main Symptoms】
Sick dogs often show mild wet cough, often accompanied by mucus purulent nasal fluid, poor tolerance to exercise, rapid breathing, difficulty breathing, and sometimes cyanosis of the visual mucosa. Systemic symptoms are also often shown: listlessness, anorexia, weight loss or dehydration.
[Diagnostic Criteria]
X-ray examination shows that the lesions are density areas, which are villous; due to alveolar exudation, gas bronchography; mildly infected lesions, exudates around the bronchial and enlarged bronchial lymph nodes.
【Treatment Method】
Ensure the unobstructed trachea and oxygen must be transferred when there are serious respiratory diseases.
General care should ensure that the environment is warm and moist, avoid sick animals from feeling uncomfortable, clean nasal fluid and secretions regularly, and ensure that sick dogs have sufficient water supply. Infusion is an important way to ensure sufficient water supply. The prerequisite for sufficient water supply is to maintain mucosal function and secretions can be removed in time. But also avoid excessive moisture.
The initial treatment should be treated with large doses of antibiotics. Before the results of bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests come out, you can use ampicillin, high-efficiency sulfonamide drugs, cephalosporins and gentamicin.
