Aspiration pneumonia in veterinary medicine: What's the outcome? | VetGirl Veterinary CE Podcasts

Pneumonitis (inflammation of the lungs) or infectious pneumonia (e.g., due to bacteria, viral, etc.) can result in significant morbidity in our patients… but, does this correlate to mortality too? Our pneumonia patients may present with mild to life-threatening signs of illness. In this podcast, VetGirl will discuss clinical presentation, physical examination findings, underlying etiologies, and the overall prognosis for aspiration pneumonia.
