Beware of dog pneumonia during seasonal changes. Treatment of canine bronchopneumonia. Bronchopneumonia is an 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.

(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.

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.
