“…Neutrophilia was suggestive of a stressful condition and tissue damage, while the non-regenarative anemia (RPI: 0.8) was the result of acute blood loss (Lee and Drobatz 2004). The far prolonged PT and PTT values in this dog indicated the chronicity and severity of ARI.…”

A 3.5-year-old, spayed female, German shepherd-cross dog was presented with cough, hemoptysis, inspiratory stridor and fascial plane hematomas. Routine bleeding profile showed prolonged prothrombin time (PT) and partial thromboplastin time (PTT). Radiography revealed severe narrowing of tracheal lumen accompanied by increased thickness and opacity of its wall. Tracheal diameter was measured objectively, employing the ratio of its diameter (TD) to thoracic inlet distance (TI) and that of the midpoint between thoracic inlet and the carina (TT) to the 3r d rib width (3R), as well as the ratio of TT to predicted diameter of tracheal lumen [DPred (DPred cm = 0.47 (weight kg )0 3 9)]. All three ratios were found lower than normal. The space occupying effect of extensive and severe sub-mucosal hemorrhage due to anticoagulant rodenticide intoxication was incriminated.

“…More severely affected patients will exhibit an increased respiratory effort with a prolonged inspiratory phase, open-mouth breathing, mild to severe airway noise, extension of the head and neck (orthopnea; see Figure 23.1), abduction of the elbows, restless behavior, and a reluctance to lie down. Common clinical findings of patients with an upper respiratory tract obstruction include absence of air movement, prolonged inspiratory phase with severe inspiratory and/or expiratory stridor or stertor, hyperthermia, hypersalivation, retching, and intolerance of handling [1,[3][4][5][6]. Neither the presence of pink mucous membranes nor absence of cyanosis in a patient with an upper airway obstruction is a reliable indicator of adequate oxygenation [3][4][5].…”

“…Stertor is a low-pitched snoring sound resonating from the upper airways and is commonly associated with the nasal passages, nasopharynx and oropharynx. Stertor is associated with brachycephalic airway syndrome or nasopharyngeal polyps in feline patients [1,[3][4][5][6]. Intrathoracic obstructions are more commonly associated with an increased expiratory effort.…”

“…Ventilation can be assessed by evaluating the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (P a CO 2 ). Hypoventilation is defined as a P a CO 2 of >43 mmHg in a dog and >36 mmHg in a cat [3,4,7,8]. Patients with severe hypoventilation (P a CO 2 > 60 mmHg) require immediate aggressive therapeutic intervention to treat the airway obstruction.…”

“…In cases of dyspnea, the stress of an examination sometimes causes respiratory arrest, if it is not minimized [12]. There are many cases in which examinations under general anesthesia such as computed tomography, bronchoscopy, biopsy and bronchoalveolar lavage, which are difficult to perform, are required to establish a definitive diagnosis.…”

ABSTRACT. Pulmonary surfactant protein A (SP-A) is used as a biomarker to understand the clinical features of pulmonary diseases and associated prognostic indices in human medicine. This study was conducted to investigate whether or not serum SP-A concentration can be used as a biomarker for identifying pulmonary parenchymal diseases in dogs. Thirty-two dogs with pulmonary parenchymal diseases, 34 with nonrespiratory diseases and 57 healthy dogs were included. Serum SP-A concentration was measured in all dogs using sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay with an anti-dog SP-A polyclonal antibody. Median serum SP-A concentration in healthy dogs was <2.0 ng/ml, whereas that in dogs with aspiration pneumonia (n=11), primary lung tumors (n=9) and blunt traumatic lung injury (BTLI; n=12) was 3.1, 7.2 and 2.6 ng/ml, respectively; these values were significantly higher than those in healthy dogs. The serum SP-A concentration in dogs with nonrespiratory diseases was comparable with that in healthy dogs. No correlation was observed between the serum SP-A and plasma C-reactive protein concentrations in dogs with aspiration pneumonia and BTLI. There was a significant correlation between the serum SP-A concentration and thoracic radiographic changes in dogs with BTLI. These findings suggest that the serum SP-A concentration may be a useful clinical biomarker of alveolar damage that can be used for differential diagnosis of pulmonary parenchymal diseases and nonrespiratory diseases in dogs.
