Clinical symptoms of canine pleurisy:

1. The body temperature of the dog rises by 1-2 degrees, the cough is short and slightly painful, the head and neck are stretched, and the mouth is opened to breathe, so as to relieve the pain and suppress the cough.

2. Palpate the chest wall, showing pain and uneasiness and try to avoid inspection, even tremor.

3. During the disease period, the dog usually takes a standing posture, as if sleeping.

4. Chronic pleurisy, if extensive adhesions have occurred, or the pleura is highly thickened, the systemic symptoms are often not obvious, only shortness of breath, or repeated fever.

Prevention and treatment of canine pleurisy:

1. Promote absorption: In order to promote the absorption and dissipation of inflammation, 10% camphor alcohol, mustard mud, 6-10% mustard semen or ammonia liniment can be applied on the chest wall. Diuretics or laxatives may be used as needed.

2. Stop exudation: In order to prevent a large amount of exudate from the pleural cavity, 10-30 ml of 10% calcium gluconate solution or 5-15 ml of 2-40/0 calcium lactate solution can be used intravenously for several days .

3. Use antiviral drugs: such as Virusin, Virusgram, etc., and use broad-spectrum antibiotics, such as Aureomycin, Kanamycin, etc. For high fever, Analgin and Analgin and Antongding are used together, and Chinese herbal medicines are more effective if used together.
