Bronchopneumonia is inflammation of individual lobules or several pulmonary lobules, also known as lobular pneumonia; the alveoli are usually filled with inflammatory exudative components composed of epithelial cells, plasma and white blood cells. Clinically, the symptoms include relaxing fever, increased breathing frequency, cough, and localized pneumonia lesions in the lungs.

[Cause]

(1) Secondary colds, improper feeding and management, stimulation by physical and chemical factors, and low synthetic resistance create opportunities for various bacteria, such as pasteurella, pneumococci, streptococci, staphylococci and other infections .

(2) Parasitic cause: Ascaris larvae damage the alveoli and bronchi during their migration in the body.

(3) Secondary factors, such as colds, adenovirus, canine distemper, infectious hepatitis and inflammatory transfer to other tissues and organs, can all lead to pneumonia.

[Symptoms]

The disease initially showed symptoms of acute bronchitis, including runny nose, dry cough, and bronchial sounds. As the disease progresses, the general condition worsens, the spirit becomes depressed, the appetite decreases or no food is eaten, the body temperature rises to 39.54 degrees, the symptoms are flaccid fever, dyspnea, increased frequency, conjunctival cyanosis, sunken eyeballs, and dehydration. On auscultation of the lungs, alveolar sounds are weakened in the diseased areas, crepitus can be heard, and sounds can be heard in healthy areas. Blood changes, total white blood cell count and neutrophils increased, and there was left nuclear shift. X-ray examination shows that the lung texture is thickened and has flaky shadows.

[Treatment]

(1) Penicillin 50,000 units/kg body weight, streptomycin 30,000 units/kg body weight, dexamethasone 0.1-0.3 mg/kg body weight, mixed and injected intramuscularly, twice a day, for 5-7 days.

(2) Tetracycline 10-15 mg/kg body weight, dissolved in 5% glucose, intravenously injected, 2 times/day. Or cephalosporin 56 mg/kg body weight, dexamethasone 0.2 mg/kg body weight, mixed intramuscular injection, 2 times/day.

(3) Supportive therapy, 5% glucose saline 15-30 ml/kg body weight, 5% sodium bicarbonate injection 1-2 ml/kg body weight, mixed intravenous infusion.

(4) Fatan antitussive, ammonium chloride 50 mg/kg body weight, Kebiqing 2.5 mg/kg body weight, taken orally 2 times/day. To relieve asthma, aminophylline 10-15 mg/kg body weight can be taken orally 2 times a day.
