Any foreign body (other gases, liquids, solids, etc. other than air) that are inhaled into the dog's lungs and cause inflammation of the bronchial and lungs is collectively called foreign body or inhalation pneumonia.
1. Causes of foreign body pneumonia in dogs:
1. Dog swallowing disorders and forced medication are the most common causes of foreign body pneumonia.
2. When pharyngitis, pharyngeal paralysis, esophageal obstruction and brain history with dysphagia, it is easy to inhale or pharyngeal by mistake, resulting in foreign body pneumonia.
3. Foreign bodies enter the lungs, initially causing catalytic inflammation in the bronchial and lung lobes. Then the pathological process increases dramatically and eventually falls into lung gangrene.
2. Clinical symptoms of foreign body pneumonia in dogs:
1. In the early stage of the disease, the dog presents the symptoms of bronchial pneumonia, breathing rapidly and difficult, breathing in an abdominal manner, and having wet cough. Body temperature rises, pulse is fast and weak, and sometimes trembles.
2. In the later stage of the disease, the dog's exhalation has a rotten and foul nasal fluid flows out of both nostrils.
3. Prevention and treatment measures for foreign body pneumonia in dogs:
The treatment principle is to quickly let the dogs discharge foreign bodies, stop the decomposition of lung tissue, relieve breathing difficulties, and treat symptomatically.
1. Exclude foreign objects: First, let the sick dog lie horizontally and raise the hind foot to facilitate foreign objects to cough out. At the same time, 0.2~1 ml of pilocarpine hydrochloride was injected subcutaneously to increase tracheal secretion and promote rapid excretion of foreign matter.
2. When oxygen is delivered, oxygen should be inhaled when breathing is difficult. For antibacterial treatment, penicillin, streptomycin, erythromycin, kanamycin, gentamicin, tetracycline, or compound Xinnuoming tablets can be injected in time.
3. Injection intratracheal tubes, you can try 2~3 ml of 4% formaldehyde solution or 5% menthol liquid paraffin oil, twice a day, 4 times a day for 1 course of treatment.
