My dog is diagnosed with pneumonia, what should I do?

If it's pneumonia:

Bronchopneumonia Bronchopneumonia (refers to bronchitis complicated by pneumonia), also known as lobular pneumonia (refers to the occurrence of a range limited to 1 lobule), is more common in puppies and elderly dogs, with a higher incidence in late autumn to early spring.

**: The occurrence of bronchopneumonia is mainly due to various reasons (such as transportation, overwork, improper feeding management, cold, turbid air in the stable, weak aging, vitamin deficiency and even lung filaria parasitism and roundworm migration, etc.), when the body's resistance is reduced; Conditionally pathogenic bacteria (such as pasteurella, pneumococcus, staphylococcus, streptococcus, Escherichia coli, etc.) that usually parasitize the respiratory tract will cause subsequent harm and the disease will occur, which can then cause sporadic epidemics in surrounding dogs. In addition, canine distemper is also seen in lobular pneumonia.

Symptoms: cough, mucus or purulent nasal discharge, bronchial rales, fever, which later decreases to about the left and right, rapid breathing, and then dyspnea. Lesions are generally distributed in the anterior lower part.

Due to the varying size of the lesions, auscultation results are not the same. If it is scattered in a few lobules of the lungs and inflamed, auscultation and percussion are not abnormal; If the lesion is large (confluent lobular pneumonia occurs when many lobular groups are infected simultaneously or sequentially), the alveolar sounds are weak on auscultation, with crepitations and tracheal rales, and dullness is present on auscultation. Blood tests:

The total number of neutrophils increases, and the nucleus shifts to the left. X-rays may show pneumoniac opacities.

**: Eliminate inflammation with antibiotics or sulfonamides. Apply a cold damp cloth to the chest 1 2 times a day.

Expectorant can be mixed with 150 ml of apomorphine hydrochloride, dilute hydrochloride, glycerin, distilled water, 1 teaspoon every 3 to 4 hours. Or use 3 grams of potassium iodide, 6 grams of sodium bicarbonate and 150 ml of distilled water, three times a day, one teaspoon at a time. Cardiac tonic with sodium plus camphor, etc., and other symptomatic **.

In addition, care should be intensified.

After taking the sleeping pills, hang the drips.

Dogs are infected with pneumonia, which usually has the following symptoms:

1. The dog has poor appetite, poor mental state, and is accompanied by symptoms of increased body temperature, cough or pus in the nose, and mouth breathing, while puppies will have symptoms such as cyanosis of the tongue and proptosis;

2. Auscultation of the lungs shows crackles or crepitus, and lung X-ray can show different degrees of thickening of lung markings;

3. Difficulty breathing, which sounds like phlegm.

Symptoms of pneumonia in dogs.

Dog pneumonia is a relatively common disease, **the method is generally to give the dog an infusion, and then with nebulization**, nebulization once in the morning and evening, and then infusion once a day, **5-7 days or so the dog will get better.

In addition, you can also give the dog to eat the food that you usually like to eat, which will help the dog recover, and you also need to keep the dog warm, so as not to let the dog catch a cold, otherwise it will aggravate the pneumonia.

If you are unsure about your condition, it is recommended to go to a pet hospital.

Carry out**.

Pneumonia is mainly manifested as constant cough, phlegm, a small amount of nasal water, loss of appetite, malaise, slightly shortness of breath, pneumonia and bronchitis but simple diagnosis is difficult to distinguish, but the method is basically the same, I can give you a way to inject the dog; Qingkailing is a single, (1 ribavilin + 1 dexamethasone + cephalosporin (children's dosage) are beaten together!) 2 times a day.

This effect comes relatively quickly.

In addition, oral lung cleansing pills! 2 times a day. 1 generation at a time.

If you can't solve it yourself, then you have to go to the pet hospital, but remember not to let those black-hearted doctors blindfold you.

Precautionary measures: pay attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of the environment, dogs are prone to colds in winter, do not let the dog blow directly with warm air under the air conditioner, unless you want it to hurry up, properly let it get exercise, so that it can increase its own immunity.

Dog pneumonia will cause symptoms such as cough, phlegm, runny nose, and fever.

Sticking out the tongue, sweating profusely, sitting, etc.

What should I do if my dog has pneumonia and seems to have water?

The general clinical symptoms vary depending on the cause of infection, but usually include cough, fever, dyspnea, decreased mobility, loss of appetite, weight loss, and yellow nasal discharge.

1. Blood test: The main purpose is to understand the changes in the blood and understand the degree of infection.

2。Chest X-ray: During the chest X-ray, the camera should be taken when the dog breathes, as the diagnosis is best.

With this test, we can learn about the b-position of the lobe (two lobes in the left lobe and three lobes in the right lobe), which is basically infected, first determined ** (e.g. aspiration pneumonia).

3. Sampling and culture: tracheal flushing (perfusion of normal saline into the trachea and then extraction) or tracheoscopy (endoscopy), bone marrow sampling, cerebrospinal fluid sampling and lymph node sampling. The main purpose is to collect the source of infection in the lungs for laboratory culture and resistance testing to select the most effective drugs.

What tests do I need if I have pneumonia? Once at the hospital, the doctor will first take x-rays to determine the extent of the pneumonia, then do some sampling tests to determine the right medication for your dog. Sometimes aerosol** is used, which can effectively help your dog expel phlegm that has accumulated in the throat.

In addition, when nursing the dog during the sick period, you must pay attention to replenishing the dog's water, sufficient water can dilute the phlegm in the dog's body, so that the dog will not feel uncomfortable because the phlegm is too thick to exclude, and finally remember to supplement them with easy-to-digest protein food, if the dog can not eat, you can use the injection of nutrient solution.

If your dog is already pneumonia, it is not recommended to take medicine, because the absorption effect of oral medicine is too poor, and this needs to go to the hospital for infusion. If you just have a cough and don't want to go to the hospital, you can take a little azithromycin orally with cough syrup. However, it is necessary to pay attention to azithromycin, and the amount must be given less, because azithromycin itself has adverse reactions that can cause vomiting, and some sensitive dogs will vomit after eating a little, so they can't eat it.

If there is no adverse reaction after eating, you can increase the amount according to the symptoms. However, generally speaking, dogs' coughs are not easy to take medicine, at least they need injections.

For the dog with pneumonia, you can also use a stethoscope to listen to her, and then give him some anti-inflammatory drugs, after all, this is also a minor problem.
