摘要
Treatment of feline bronchial asthma is directed toward promoting bron-chodilation, reducing inflammation, and restoring normal mucus clearance. Therefore, determining and subsequently eliminating the inciting cause(s) of feline bronchial asthma should be the therapeutic priority of veterinary practitioners. Emergency treatment, including supplemental oxygen therapy, glucocorticoids, beta(2)-adrenergic agonists, and methylxanthines, is often indicated. Long-term therapy is aimed at further reducing inflammatory cell infiltration into the tracheobronchial tree and may be accomplished with inhalant glucocorticoids and antileukotriene medications.
