Abstract:
A three‑year‑old domestic shorthair cat was referred for treatment of pelvic limb paralysis. Imaging examinations revealed air in the spinal canal (pneumorrhachis). A right‑sided hemilaminectomy was performed to decompress the spinal cord, which led to full resolution of the symptoms within four weeks after the procedure. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of spontaneous pneumorrhachis in a cat. As there are no treatment standards, we would like to add to their creation. The available literature on pneumorrhachis has also been reviewed.

Bacterial Pneumonia Treatment
For bacterial pneumonia, antibiotics serve as the cornerstone of therapy. Initial treatment often begins with empirical antibiotics, tailored to the anticipated causative organism and adjusted based on culture results. Key antibiotic choices include:
