| dc.description.abstract | Respiratory symptoms are the prominent manifestations of many diseases which can be a major cause of mortality and morbidity in dogs. Necropsy and histopathological examination of the lungs directly point at the underlined pathological process involved in the disease. Hence, the present study was conducted to record the occurrence of various pulmonary conditions in dogs, their gross appearance and histopathological features. A total of 75 representative pulmonary tissue samples with lesions were collected from dogs. Occurrence of lung lesions was highest among dogs aged between 8-10 years followed by less than one year old dogs. Male and non-descript dogs were found to be affected more with pulmonary disorders. Based on gross and microscopical examination, various pulmonary disorders recorded were congestion, haemorrhage, oedema, atelectasis, emphysema, bronchitis and bronchiolitis, pneumonia and pulmonary neoplasms. The different types of pneumonia observed were bronchopneumonia and interstitial pneumonia. Among the bronchopneumonia, fibrinous and suppurative types and among the interstitial pneumonia, acute and chronic types were observed. Pulmonary neoplasms were classified as primary and secondary. Primary neoplasms include bronchiolar papillary adenoma, bronchioloalveolar papillary adenocarcinoma and myxosarcoma. Secondary neoplasms include single cases of solid adenocarcinoma of mammary gland, lymphosarcoma and chemodectoma. Further, miscellaneous conditions observed were anthracosis and calcification. These lesions were found to be correlated with various clinically diagnosed conditions of infectious and non-infectious origin as like canine distemper, renal failure, cardiac failure, parvoviral gastroenteritis and leptospirosis. Thus, the present study could be concluded that lung is one of the most commonly affected organ associated with various systemic infections and non-infectious pathological conditions, suggesting the need for advanced molecular techniques to arrive at precise diagnosis. | en_US |
