It is best to treat a dog with pneumonia in time. The hope of recovery is very high. If it is not treated, it can live for about 1 to 2 weeks. This has a lot to do with the dog's own constitution, condition and treatment method. If it is relatively mild pneumonia, it can be cured after taking medicine or injection for about a week. If it is more serious pneumonia, it will take about a month to recover. , Dogs should supplement nutrition during illness, improve resistance, and help the recovery of the disease.

Common causes of pneumonia in dogs:

1. Inhalation: Foreign matter enters the respiratory system and causes infection. These foreign bodies include vomit and food. This phenomenon is often seen in dogs with abnormalities of the upper gastrointestinal system (such as paralysis of the throat and structural abnormalities of the esophagus). In addition, improper handling of anesthesia and improper force-feeding are also easily caused.

2. Bacteria: Bacteria enter the lungs through the mouth or nasal cavity, further causing infection in the trachea, bronchi and alveoli. Working dogs weighing more than 12 kg, hounds and dogs with a lot of exercise have a higher incidence. Any age group may have the disease, but it is common within 1 year old, and the incidence rate of male dogs is relatively high.

3. Immunity: It mainly occurs in Siberian sled dogs, because congenital immune deficiency causes lung infection. In addition, heartworm infection is also the main reason.

4. Mold: Mold or yeast in the environment or other organs in the body enters the lungs and causes infection. Common sources of infection include blastomyces, histoplasmosis, coccidioides, and cryptosporidium. It usually occurs mostly in large dogs, but some molds are prone to appear in breeds such as cocker spaniel and German shepherd dog. The age of onset is mostly within 4 years old, and the incidence rate of male dogs is 2 to 4 times that of female dogs.

5. Injury to the lung itself: mainly the tissue damage between the alveoli and the alveoli, which is the most common problem accompanied by canine distemper infection.
