Q

dx bacterial pneumonia

A

TTW or BAL or pulmonary FNA; degenerative neutrophilic inflammation +/- bacteria

17
Q

__ is contraindicated in bacterial pneumonia casese

A

antitussives (except if cough is extremely debilitating, want to hack up all the flem)

18
Q

tx for bacterial pneumonia should continue for at least __ beyond resolution of clinical/rad signs

A

2wks

19
Q

young, unvaccinated, highly exposed dog

A

viral pneumonia; distemper and influenze

20
Q

diffuse miliary/nodular interstitial pattern, hilar lymphadenopathy, and coughing

A

fungal pneumonia

21
Q

for fungal pneumonia treat at least __ beyond resolution of CS/Rads

A

1-2mo

22
Q

__ are controversial in treating fungal pneumonia bc may suppress IS futher and limit inflammaotyr response to dying fungi

A

steroids

23
Q

secondary to vomiting, dysphagia, megaesophagus, altered consciousness, force-feeding and incorrect placement of feeding tubes

A

aspiration pneumonitis

24
Q

T/F: many cases of aspiration pneumonitis do not require ab

A

true

25
Q

__ may increase the risk of secondary bacterial pneumonia

A

PPI or H2 blockers (decrease stomach acid = bacteria grow)

26
Q

tx for aspiration pneumonia

A

symptomatic

O2, nebulization, coupage, head lower than chest if recumbent

27
Q

when should you consider using Ab to tx aspiration pneumonia

A

no improvement in 2-3d
inflamm leukogram worsening
fever develops
animal on H2 blockers or PPI

28
Q

most common cause of chronic cough in dogs

A

canine chronic bronchitis

30
Q

most common CS for canine chronic bronchitis

A

chronic, dry NP cough

31
Q

tx for canine chronic bronchitis

A

damage to airway is mostly irriversible, so must tx CS rather than cure dz

glucocorticoids
bronchodilators
+/- cough suppresants and ab
weight loss

32
Q

mainstay tx/single most effective therapy for canine chronic bronchitis

A

steroids! (prednisone)

33
Q
