Bronchitis with Dogs or Cats
Though Bronchitis is much more common with people, it is known to show up occasionally with dogs or cats. With pets, younger, small-breed dogs are the most common victims. With that being said, let us provide the brief but helpful overview about this sort of illness/issue. This picture shows the lung structure of a human, but at least gives an idea of where the Bronchi tube are - for the sake of this discussion.
Specifically, this form of 'inflammatory respiratory illness' involves inflammation of the BRONCHI - the medium size airways of the lungs. The 'Acute' version of this illness usually involves Viral or Bacterial infection which must be conquered in some manner, and the issue can last for days or even weeks. If not properly dealt with, pneumonia can result. Chronic Bronchitis is a different situation; this ailment is not likely the result of infection. It may be due to COPD - Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease - and is best diagnosed by a proper physician.
Symptoms indicating bronchitis may include coughing and increased production of phlegm (sputum) and, due to restriction in airways, difficulty in breathing, shortness of breath, or even wheezing. Proper diagnosis will confirm the issue via clinical exam, and/or microbiological examination of the phlegm.
Doctor prescribed treatments will usually involve antibiotics, though this can only be helpful if bacteria is the root cause. A person should be aware of the negative effects of antibiotics. Damage to intestinal flora is the most common result, often leading to yeast overgrowth in the GI tract. If the root cause is viral, antibiotics will be of little help against it.
