Bronchitis is an acute or chronic inflammation of the bronchial mucosa and is a common disease in cats. Clinically, it is characterized by cough and rales on chest auscultation.

The main causes of feline bronchitis are cold stimulation, inhalation of dust, mold spores, hot air and other mechanical stimulation, or secondary to colds and other diseases. ​​​​​​

In the early stage, sick cats develop a short, dry cough that is painful, and develop into a wet cough with the production of exudates. The disease begins with serous nasal discharge, and later mucopurulent nasal discharge. After each cough, the discharge increases. Chest auscultation can hear the cat's breath sounds thick, and some sick cats have difficulty breathing. The main symptom of the disease is cough. In chronic cases, it is persistent cough, especially during exercise, eating, and when the temperature is low in the morning and evening. It is usually a severe dry cough.

The treatment of this disease is based on the principles of eliminating phlegm, relieving cough, and eliminating inflammation.

(1) Expelling phlegm and relieving cough. You can take 3-5 ml of compound camphor tincture orally, 2-3 times a day; Kebiqing, 12.5-25 mg each time, 3 times a day, orally. When the secretions are thick and difficult to cough up, you can take cough syrup, 5-10 ml each time, 3 times a day, orally. In addition, you can also use phenergan cough syrup and 0.05 to 0.1 grams of aminophylline for oral administration.

(2) Eliminate inflammation. Penicillin and other broad-spectrum antibiotics and sulfonamides can be injected intramuscularly.
