Chronic Cough in Dogs
نویسنده
چکیده
Chronic bronchial disease constitutes a significant, yet underdiagnosed, cause of both chronic cough, episodic as well as, acute-onset respiratory distress in the adult dog. Untreated, chronic bronchial disease is a debilitating, progressive respiratory syndrome that characteristically results in decreased exercise tolerance, inactivity, paroxysmal respiratory distress, airway collapse, and even death. With proper medical intervention, however, the prognosis for effective long-term management of chronic bronchial disease, even in severe cases, can be good.

Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid and Serum Canine Surfactant Protein A Concentrations in Dogs with Chronic Cough by Bronchial and Interstitial Lung Diseases
We measured bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and serum canine surfactant protein (cSP)-A concentrations in dogs with chronic cough. There were no significant differences between bronchial and interstitial lung diseases in BALF cSP-A concentrations. However, serum cSP-A concentrations in dogs with the interstitial lung disease as diffuse panbronchiolitis and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis were...
متن کاملTracheobronchial Brush Cytology and Bronchoalveolar Lavage in Dogs and Cats with Chronic Cough: 45 Cases (2012–2014)
BACKGROUND Animals with chronic cough can have normal bronchoalveolar lavage fluid cytology when small airway disease is absent. Cytology of a tracheobronchial brushing can detect inflammation in larger airways; however, evaluation of this technique has been limited in veterinary medicine. OBJECTIVE To compare airway brush cytology to bronchoalveolar lavage fluid analysis in dogs and cats wit...
متن کاملAgreement Among Radiographs, Fluoroscopy and Bronchoscopy in Documentation of Airway Collapse in Dogs
BACKGROUND Airway collapse is a common finding in dogs with chronic cough, yet the diagnosis can be difficult to confirm without specialty equipment. HYPOTHESIS Bronchoscopic documentation of tracheobronchial collapse will show better agreement with fluoroscopic imaging than with standard radiography. ANIMALS Forty-two dogs prospectively evaluated for chronic cough. METHODS In this prospe...
متن کاملFluoroscopic characteristics of tracheal collapse and cervical lung herniation in dogs: 222 cases (2012–2015)
This retrospective study included 222 dogs suspected to have tracheal collapse (TC) and examined between 1 January 2012 and 31 December 2015. Fluoroscopic and radiographic images and medical records were evaluated to investigate the fluoroscopic characteristics of TC and cervical lung herniation (CLH), and to determine their relationships to various influencing. Grade of TC, existence of trache...
متن کاملInvestigation of Neurokinin‐1 Receptor Antagonism as a Novel Treatment for Chronic Bronchitis in Dogs
BACKGROUND Canine chronic bronchitis (CCB) results in cough lasting ≥2 months and airway inflammation. Adverse effects include risk of secondary infection associated with lifelong corticosteroid administration and prompt investigation into alternative therapies. Neurogenic pathways mediated by tachykinins that bind neurokinin (NK) 1 receptors may induce cough and airway inflammation. Maropitant...
