If the animal is in respiratory failure ...

Aspiration pneumonia is an inflammatory lung disease that occurs when your dog inhales foreign substances. This often occurs with disorders that cause regurgitation or vomiting. However, neuromuscular disorders that cause difficulty in swallowing or paralysis of the esophagus may lead to aspiration pneumonia. Dogs often so than cats, and depending on the main causes of all ages and breeds suffer. Causes of esophageal disorders such as esophageal obstruction with alien bodies or masses, inflammation of the esophagus, or paralysis and expansion of the esophagus (megaesophagus)

Reducing mentation or alertness causes reduced swallowing reflex induced by general anesthesia, sedation, head trauma, or seizure

Accidental administration of drugs, fluids or food in the wind tunnel and not into the esophagus, especially during feeding or force feeding tube

Vomiting, especially chronic vomiting

As you strattera without prescritpion can see for respiratory failure, fast breathing and high heart rate

exercise tolerance, weakness Diagnosis

thorough physical examination of chest auscultation (listening to the chest by stethoscope) and palpation of the abdomen is very useful to detect changes that may indicate the presence of aspiration pneumonia. Additional tests may include:

Your veterinarian may choose to run some laboratory tests such as complete blood count (CBC), biochemical profile and urinalysis to look for signs of infection and availability reasons. A chest radiograph may show lung abnormalities that may indicate aspiration pneumonia. The liquid can be obtained from the lower airways and lungs to examine under a microscope, and it can be cultivated to isolate the causative bacteria and determine the correct antibiotic use in the treatment. If the animal is in respiratory failure, the blood gas analysis may be considered. Various other tests may be necessary to determine the cause of vomiting, regurgitation or dysfunction. Such tests include abdominal X-rays, X-ray or esophageal barium and fluoroscopy (X-ray video) to evaluate the esophagus in motion. If found, then further testing is indicated to seek the cause of paralysis of the esophagus. Treatment Hospice may need hospitalization with oxygen, intravenous fluids, antibiotics and supportive therapy. Slightly injured pets that are well hydrated and eat right can be treated outpatient with frequent following tests to monitor the progression of infection. Additional treatments may include:

attenuation secretions. This can be done with humidifier or knock the chest wall (blend). Surgery. In some cases, removing the affected lobe of the lung, foreign body or tumor can be done. Home Care and Prevention of aspiration pneumonia, including stomach contents, may be serious, life-threatening condition. Animals may need several days in intensive care before it stabilized, and some animals with great difficulty craps from this condition, especially if the main problem is due to paralysis of the esophagus. Once the animal is discharged from the hospital to administer all medications as directed by veterinarian. Back to the examination, blood tests and X-ray according to the recommendations of the veterinarian. Many times, aspiration pneumonia can not be prevented. However, treatment and control of underlying disease can significantly reduce the risk of aspiration pneumonia or to prevent recurrence of the state. .
