Bacterial Pneumonia in Dogs and Cats

Abstract: Bacterial pneumonia is a common clinical diagnosis in dogs but seems to occur less commonly in cats. Underlying causes include viral infection, aspiration injury, and foreign body inhalation. Identification of the organisms involved in disease, appropriate use of antibiotics and adjunct therapy, and control of risk factors for pneumonia improve management.

“…Nonneoplastic pulmonary mass lesions include pneumonia, abscesses, granulomas, hematoma, cavitary lesions such as bullae, blebs, and cysts, and lung lobe torson . In the group of inflammatory mass lesions, pneumonia is most frequently diagnosed in dogs with lower respiratory tract disease while cats suffer most commonly from bronchial disease . The most common mass lesions in the mediastinum are lymphoma, thymoma, bronchogenic and idiopathic mediastinal cysts, ectopic thyroid, chemodectoma, and some rare neoplasms …”

“…In the dog we reported, the main findings revealed by the complete cell count were marked leukocytosis (by neutrophilia), and mild normochromic anaemia. This result is expected because leukograms of domestic animals with bacterial pneumonia are characterized by neutrophilia with or without a left shift (Dear, ).…”

“…CIRD is a superinfection by both virus and bacteria, with additional environmental stressors such as overcrowding in shelters (Dear, 2014). Chronic lung infection by microbial pathogens, in turn, exacerbates excessive mucus in dog airways.…”
