Description
This webinar will evaluate the most common inflammatory disorders of the canine respiratory tract, to include immune-mediated nasal disease, laryngeal paralysis, tracheal collapse, chronic bronchitis and eosinophilic bronchopneumonia. Typically these disorders are treated wholly or in part with systemic steroid medications. Common side effects of these drugs in the canine patient include increased thirst (waking up at night), urine soiling in the home, increase hunger and weight gain, increased susceptibility to infections of the skin and bladder, and behavioral changes and disorders. The goal of this webinar will be to discuss alternatives to systemic steroid medications in inflammatory airway disease in dogs, to minimize the side effects listed above. Because inhaled steroids do not cause these side effects, because they are easy to administer to the canine patient, and because the cost of these drugs are much lower than we imagine, we will discuss inhaled steroids at some length.
