of the airway and lungs from accidental aspiration.
While drugs such as acetylcysteine are capable of breaking the disulphide bonds that are partially responsible for the particularly viscid nature
of airway mucus, in practice, aerosolized acetlycysteine is irritating to airway epithelium and can promote significant bronchoconstriction.
Even though steroids are not primary antitussives, by decreasing inflammation they may decrease stimulation
of airway sensory nerves that are responsible for initiating cough in canine CB.
Coughing is almost always a sign
of airway irritation.
Robitussin, active ingredient dextromethorphan, has not been approved by the FDA for veterinary use, but it is commonly prescribed by vets looking to treat pets struggling with bronchitis and other forms
of airway irritation.

of the airway of the dog, or it can be a sign of brachycephalic airway syndrome.
If your horse has primary or secondary problems with smoke - induced respiratory injury, you should contact your veterinarian who can prescribe specific treatments such as intravenous fluids, bronchodilator drugs, nebulization, or other measures to facilitate hydration
of the airway passages.
Without examining Patch I can not listen to his lungs and the rest
of his airway to determine what the underlying cause may be; infections, obstructions, heart disease, poisoning, allergies among other causes may be the cause.
All of the injectable agents have the potential to produce respiratory depression, so the veterinary technician needs to be able to take rapid control
of the airway, supply oxygen, and ventilate when necessary.
These include a hypoplastic trachea (a malformation of the tracheal cartilage rings leading to narrowing
of the airway), stenotic nares (which means the nostrils are pinched and narrow), everted laryngeal saccules (a condition where the soft tissue located in front of the vocal cords becomes swollen and inflamed) and an elongated soft palate, all of which can contribute to increased respiratory effort and noise.
It can cause tissue in a pet's windpipe to thicken, reducing the diameter
of the airway.
Many small breed dogs have a characteristic «goose honk» cough with exercise or excitement due to the tracheal cartilages being a little weak, this can lead to increased risk
of airway infections.
While nothing can be done to prevent laryngeal paralysis, close monitoring after premedication and quick induction to get control
of the airway are essential to prevent fluids from entering the lungs.

of the airway.
When a person has an asthma attack, the lining
of the airway swells, secretes more mucus, and, most dramatically, constricts the muscles in the airways.
Dr. Burschtin said my sleep apnea was mild, according to my respiratory disturbance index, which was based on the frequency
