Respiratory System Diseases

• Introduction and autodefence of resp. system

• Rhinitis
• Pharyngitis , Necrobacillosis
• Laryngeo-tracheal Disorders , Gutteral
pouch myosis
• Pneumonia (Viral, bacterial, Chlamydial,
Mycotic, verminous, Aspiration, hypostatic)
• Pulmonary Emphysema
• Respiratory Diseases of Animal species
 Upper respiratory tract disorders
RHINITIS, CORYZA OR NASAL CATTARAH
• It is the inflammation of the m.m of the nose
and usually involving the upper part of the
trachea,
• it may be acute, chronic, croupous or
follicular
• It is the most common cause of upper
respiratory tract malfunction,
• Rhinitis results in exudation of neutrophils,
macrophages, and fluids), or erosion and
ulceration (or both) of the nasal mucosa.
• It may be caused by viral, bacterial, fungal, or
parasitic agents, as well as by allergic
reactions.
• Atrophy of the turbinates (eg, in atrophic
rhinitis of pigs) removes a major filtration
function and exposes the lungs to much
heavier loads of dust and
microorganisms.
• Obstruction of nasal cavity may occurred
by tumors, granulomas, abscesses, or
foreign bodies.
• Sinusitis can be a complication of upper
respiratory infections or dehorning.
 Rhinitis
• Inhalation of irritant vapour as ammonia or
chlorides.
• Associting upper resp. syst. Diseases or
pneumonias.
• In Cattle: Associate IBR، R.P, MHC, MD/VD
Adenovirus، Rhinosporidiosis
• In Equine: Strangles, glanders, EV Arteritis,
E. rhinooneumonitis
• In sheep: Blue tongue, Pox, Orf, Nasal Bot.
• In Camel: Pneumonia, Pox, orf, nasal pot.
 Signs of Rhinitis
• Redness and swelling of mms of the nose.
• Bilateral nasal discharge which usually
begins watery then mucopurualnt &
purulent.
• Swelling of the submaxillary L.N.
• Dysphagia.
• The discharge may rises up and blocks
the nose leading to "snorting".
• When there is irritation the animal rubs its
nose against any hard objects.
• There may be lacrimation and bleeding
Rhinitis.

Adenocarcinoma dog
 Complications
 Chronic rhinitis may extend to other parts
as nasal sinus giving rise to sinusitis.
 Enlargement of submaxilary L.N.
 Conjunctivitis specially in sheep.
 Extension of the inflammation to the lung
 Treatment of Rhinitis.
• According to the cause.
• Removal of discharge & irrigation of the
nasal cavity by N. saline.
• Nasal antiseptic & decongestant.
• Br. S. Antibiotic when necessary.
• Anti-inflammatory and anti-histaminic.
• For estrus ovis

pot. (Nasal drops). Ivermectin, Rafoxindie,
