But in some cases, including dogs that are high risk, more severe outcomes can happen.11 In a clinical study of Dog Flu involving experimentally infected dogs with no secondary infections,
every dog developed lung lesions (pneumonia) by the study's end.3

Although heartworms can occur in cats, they are much more common in
dogs.Microfilaria
develop for six months in
dogs and eight months in cats before they become adult heartworms, and until this time, they migrate through various body tissues until they reach the heart and
lungs.
The fact is; most
dogs infected with heartworms have absolutely no symptoms for several years until they
develop heart and
lung damage from the heartworm infestation.
Heart
Lungs and Circulation Many older
dogs and some older cats
develop heart problems.
Sometimes a
dog will not have any signs of a primary infection in the
lungs, such as coughing, but will only
develop symptoms of disseminated disease, e.g., lameness, seizures.
• A study published in the Journal of Epidemiology revealed that
dogs living with smokers have a 60 percent greater risk
developing lung cancer.
Hookworms will often make their way into the
lungs, which will result in your
dog developing a cough.
However, once the adult worms have
developed in the
lungs, your
dog may cough, have difficulty breathing, become lethargic or lose its appetite; he may also tire rapidly after only light or moderate exercise.
The eggs
develop into larvae which when ingested and swallowed by a
dog or cat migrate to the liver, then the
lungs and are then coughed up, swallowed and mature to adult hood in the small intestine.
Additionally, the Ohio State veterinary researchers have
developed a new blood test to determine if a
dog has the
lung cancer mutation, the first available for any canine cancer.
About two months after initial infection, the larvae
develop into juvenile worms and enter your
dog's blood.2 Immature adult worms that range from 1 - 1.5 inches in length arrive at your
dog's heart and
lungs as early as 67 days after initial infection.2 After arriving, they continue to mature into adulthood.

develop nasal carcinomas or primary
lung cancer.

lungs, ovaries or uterus.
This is helpful because many
dogs with heartworm
develop enlarged pulmonary arteries, or have obstructions in the arteries leading to the
lungs
When severe, your
dog could be a risk of
developing pneumonia — bacterial infection in the
lungs — and that could become deadly, too.
