Inhalation pneumonia

Оглавление

This can occur when a cow is drenched carelessly with a liquid medicine, e.g. liquid paraffin or vegetable oil. It can also occur with a misplaced Agger’s pump. General anaesthetics (GAs) in adult animals are particularly hazardous. Inhalation pneumonia can occur in untreated ‘milk fever’ cases which have become bloated in lateral recumbency. The signs will vary from violent coughing to death depending on the volume of liquid inhaled. Treatment would consist of antibiotics and NSAIDs.
