“…In majority of dogs with bacterial infection, neutrophilic (suppurative or purulent) inflammation, with marked preponderance of neutrophils (i.e., greater than 70%), is commonly observed on TTW fluid analysis [8]. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) has proved to be an inexpensive, simple, accurate and reasonably safer procedure which provides a direct approach, with a high degree of accuracy, towards all kinds of non-resolving pneumonias [18]. Most common bacterial agents, leading to lung abscesses in immunocompromised human patients, include Enterobacteriaceae, P. aeruginosa and anaerobes [5].…”

Pulmonary abscesses are rare in dogs. A 4-year old female Greyhound, weighing 20.6 Kg, was referred to Small Animal Clinics of the university with a complaint of non-productive cough, exercise intolerance, bilateral serous nasal discharge, weight loss and dyspnea for the last 2 months. Physical examination revealed tachypnea and negative inducible cough reflex along with crackles on both sides of chest on auscultation. Hematological findings revealed absolute neutrophilia (88%) and increased PCV. Biochemical tests demonstrated hyper globulinemia and hyper fibrinogenemia. Hypoxemia and hypercapnia were the main alterations noticed on blood gas analysis. Chest radiographs showed severe nodular interstitial pattern in all the lung lobes. Trans-tracheal wash (TTW) and Transthoracic fine needle aspiration cytology of the patient demonstrated markedly increased cellularity with most of foci showing preponderance of neutrophils and very few macrophages confirming the presence of largely suppurative inflammation suggestive of pulmonary abscessation. Due to multiple pulmonary abscessation and resistance to commonly used antibiotics, dog did not respond and died within 3 days of treatment before CST results. To the author's knowledge, multiple pulmonary abscessation is the first report of its kind in dogs in India.

Respiratory affections are common in dogs. Very young and older dogs are at greater risk as compared to the adult ones. Constant exposure of the respiratory tract to the infectious agents, reaching the upper and lower respiratory tract aerogenously or hematogenously, makes the respiratory system vulnerable to injury. Clinical signs mainly seen in upper respiratory tract diseases involves nasal discharge (serous, mucopurulent or hemorrhagic), sneezing, facial deformity, stertor, lethargy, inappetence and rarely, central nervous system signs whereas additional signs present in lower tract diseases range from dyspnoea, costal or abdominal respiration, cough, nasal discharge and congestion, edema, consolidation of lungs and weight loss. Advanced tests involved in diagnosis of respiratory problems in veterinary practicpe are rhinoscopy, bronchoscopy, transthoracic fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) transtracheal wash and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid cytology and culture. This review discusses the causes of upper and lower respiratory tract disorders of canines and various diagnostic tests involved in their diagnosis.
