Abstract:
Pneumonia is inflammation of the lower airways, which is most often caused by bacterial infection. Breed-related predisposing factors for pneumonia development include primary ciliary dyskinesia and diseases causing laryngeal dysfunction and megaesophagus. Two distinct respiratory diseases occur in the Irish Wolfhounds-Rhinitis bronchopneumonia syndrome in puppies and recurrent bacterial pneumonia in adult dogs. A breed-related predisposition to immune deficit and Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia occurs in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and Miniature Dachshunds.
