Summary

In this program, participants will learn about other differentials for clinical signs that are often thought of as indicative of primary lung disease. Participants will learn about how diseases originating outside of the respiratory tract can directly or indirectly cause these signs. The discussion will include diagnostic, treatment and/or management approaches to some of these clinical signs including cough, respiratory distress, and cyanosis. This program will also highlight aspiration related disorders and their role predisposing to chronic airway disease. Additionally, we will discuss the utility of videoflouroscopic swallow studies as a part of the diagnostic approach to dogs with reported respiratory disease.
