In the modern world, domestic cats are an integral part of most people's lives. For the normal functioning of a pet's body, coordinated work of all organs and their functional integrity are necessary. However, due to various reasons, cats may develop respiratory diseases. Among infections of infectious genesis in fluffy pets, rhinotracheitis, calicivirus and chlamydial infection are most often recorded, and among respiratory diseases of non-infectious etiology, bronchopneumonia, feline asthma and cardiomyopathies provoking pulmonary edema are observed, in addition, airway obstructions caused by injuries or neoplasms occur.
Bronchopneumonia affects cats of all breeds, ages and exercise (walking, indoor housing), but at a young age this disease is quite common, since complicated childbirth in a cat leads to aspiration of the contents of the birth canal by the respiratory system of the kitten. In addition, bronchopneumonia occurs in unfavorable hygienic conditions against the background of exhaustion, emaciation, stress and other factors that reduce the resistance of the animal's body, or as a complication of acute bronchitis.
Having studied the spread of respiratory diseases in cats in the conditions of Alternativa Vet LLC, it was found that bronchopneumonia occurs in 44 out of 187 animals with respiratory diseases, which is 23.5 %. It was found that kittens aged from three weeks to one and a half years of age are predominantly ill.
The effect of the use of polyantibacterial therapy comes faster than when using monoantimicrobial therapy. Body temperature indicators returned to normal by the 10th day of treatment, in the control group – by the 13th; the frequency of respiratory movements in the experimental kittens was 18-20 per minute, while in the control – 24-29. Nasal discharges in the experimental group stopped by the 6th day of therapy, and in the control group - by the 13th. Cough was completely absent in the kittens of the experimental group by the 13th day, and by the 20th in the kittens of the control group. Appetite was restored in the experimental group by the 10th day of therapy, in the control group – by the 20th day of treatment. To assess the effectiveness of the therapy, the morphological status of the animals was monitored. In morphological parameters, for the first time on days of treatment, leukocytosis was observed, and in the kittens of the experimental group, the number of leukocytes was restored by the 13th day of treatment. And in animals of the control group by the 20th day. The results of the conducted studies indicate that the applied scheme in the experimental group of animals turned out to be more effective.
