Chronic Bronchitis Symptoms in Dogs

When a dog has respiratory diseases such as chronic bronchitis, symptoms may include frequent coughing and simultaneous sneezing. Increased respiratory mucus causes difficulty breathing, leading to accelerated breathing frequency. It is recommended to consider雾化治疗 when a dog has difficulty exhaling with thick phlegm.

Causes of Bronchitis

The main causes of bronchitis in dogs are viral or bacterial infections; physical or chemical stimuli, such as dust, cold air, irritating drugs, or smells; and secondary infections caused by inflammation of the upper respiratory tract or lungs. Bronchitis is a respiratory disease that can gradually spread to the dog's lungs if not treated in time, leading to pneumonia and other diseases.

Can Dogs with Bronchitis Exercise?

It is best not to continue exercising when a dog has bronchitis. This is mainly because dogs with bronchitis will have severe coughing and panting symptoms. Strenuous exercise will exacerbate the dog's condition and even lead to difficulty breathing or shock in severe cases. Therefore, when a dog has bronchitis, attention should be paid to timely medication and reducing the amount of exercise.

Treatments for Bronchitis

Traditional Chinese medicine therapy can include taking the herbal medicine Máxìng Shígān oral medication, twice or three times daily. The ingredients in this medication are pure Chinese herbs and can be taken long-term without any side effects. Western medicine therapy can include subcutaneous injection of Hūshūn combined with Fèichángxīn. Apply once daily for three consecutive days. Nebulizer therapy involves using a nebulizer for treatment, combining Qìngdàméisu, Dìsèmisong, and Virus唑 with normal saline. Treat once daily for 15-20 minutes, for three consecutive days. These three methods can be used simultaneously for significant results.
