Pulmonary function testing (PFT) offers objective insights into canine and feline respiratory health. These advanced techniques aid in diagnosing conditions and understanding lung disease in pets.

Area of Science:

Veterinary Medicine
Respiratory Physiology

Background:

Assessing respiratory health in animals is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.
Objective data on pulmonary function in dogs and cats is often needed.

Purpose of the Study:

To outline the utility of pulmonary function testing (PFT) in veterinary medicine.
To describe available PFT techniques for dogs and cats.

Main Methods:

Review of established pulmonary function testing methods.
Includes spirometry, plethysmography, compliance, and resistance measurements.

Main Results:

PFT provides objective data on the respiratory system.
Various techniques assess different aspects of lung function.
