Treatment methods for dog asthma

Dogs can be treated with medications. Asthma medications have anti-asthmatic effects and are often called anti-asthmatic drugs. Clinically, they are divided into bronchodilators according to their main functions: bronchodilators, which are mainly used to relax the bronchi and control the acute symptoms of asthma; anti-inflammatory drugs or drugs that control the condition.
Bronchodilators, such as beta-2 agonists and theophylline. Beta-2 agonists activate adenylyl cyclase by activating beta-2 receptors in airway smooth muscle, thereby increasing the content of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), reducing free Ca2+ in cells, and thus relaxing bronchial smooth muscle. It is the drug of choice for controlling symptoms of acute asthma attacks. β2-receptor agonists can be administered by inhalation, oral administration or intravenous injection. They can generally be administered by inhalation. They have rapid effects, high drug doses in the airways, and few systemic side effects. Theophylline not only inhibits phosphodiesterase and increases the concentration of cAMP in smooth muscle cells, but also has an antagonistic effect on adenosine receptors, promotes the secretion of adrenaline in the body, and enhances the clearance function and anti-inflammatory effect of airway cilia.
