Treating Bacterial Pneumonia in Dogs and Cats

When bacterial pneumonia in a dog or cat is treated and managed appropriately, the prognosis for most patients is good. This episode of the VetFolio Voice podcast reviews common causes of bacterial pneumonia in dogs and cats, including aspiration and infectious causes. Dr. Cassi and Dr. Lori Waddell discuss the importance of the patient’s signalment and history in assessing risk factors for the various causes of pneumonia. Diagnostics, including thoracic radiographs and airway sampling–its usefulness and indications—as well as choosing empirical antibiotic therapy are also explored.
