Bronchitis Treatment

Do you have any natural approaches to bronchitis in my small old dog?

She also has a collapsed trachea. She was diagnosed with kennel cough but it has turned out to be bronchitis and a collapsed trachea. She has a harness now. I am looking for some natural remedies to help her. She is a stray Pomeranian mix (12-15 years old). Any help appreciated.

Answer 1:

Dogs that have any type of bronchitis should be contained in a kennel cab ,or room with a vaporizer containing some sort of medicated steam.If you haven't got a vaporizer,you can use a baby bottle warmer,the kind you put water in to warm a baby's milk,or you can also use a poperie pot with a candle under it to keep water warm,add the medicated steaming meds and put in same room.Leave it overnight.Continue to do this several nights and day if possible,and your pet will soon be breathing better.Your pet should also be on an antibiotic.Try this site also for other home medicines for pets.Hope your pet gets better .

How can I tell the difference between bronchitis and pneumonia?

I have some symptoms that seem to suggest I have or the other. I'm leaning towards bronchitis since I have no fever, no bodily pains, but how do I tell the difference?

Answer 1:

Pneumonia is congestion and inflammation of the lungs. Your lungs feel heavy and it is hard to breathe with pneumonia.

Bronchitis is inflammation of the upper airway. It may be sore/tender and you may cough up a lot of mucus. If you think it is bronchitis, you need to make an appt with your GP so that he/she can start you on some steroids and/or antibiotics.

Answer 2:

There is fever and localized pain associated with pneumonia. Not always the case, but is pretty typical.

What are some ways to relieve bronchitis?

I'm pretty sure I've got bronchitis, and I'm having a hard time breathing. I should have a doctor's appointment either today or tomorrow, so something temporary. I've tried two inhaler puffs, didn't do much good. Are there any other ways?

Answer 1:

i use robenteson.... idk how to spell it sorry. but its sold behind the counter which medical description drugs because it is very strong u have to be 18 to buy it and it can get u high so u have to follow the directions. not like tylenol. iit is very strong and its what i use when i have break outs. both my parents smoke inside so i cant get way from it. it sucks cause i hate cigarettes

Answer 2:

go and see a doctor, to determine if the kind of bronchitis that you have is either viral or bacterial, then depending on that they will either give you antibiotics or codine cough syrup, and an albuterol inhaler. also a hot shower or sauna will do wonders to help relieve symptoms

long hot showers always help my daughter. she has asthma and we are always chasing her into the shower when her medications don't work. the shower helps open up the airways and relax you!
