Canine Chronic Bronchitis
Diagnosis and treatment of chronic bronchitis (CB) affecting dogs
As described at Diagnosis and Therapy of Canine Chronic Bronchitis —
“Chronic bronchitis (CB) is an inflammatory airway disease, which, in association with tracheobronchial collapse, is probably the most common chronic canine airway disorder. Inflammation within airways causes chronic cough and excessive mucus production. Because, dogs can’t expectorate (spit), it is not always easy to know if the dog is making increased airway mucus. Therefore, the diagnosis of CB is usually based on chronic cough alone.”
