Abstract

A research study was conducted between October 2022 and June 2023, on 30 dogs suffered with respiratory tract infections were considered based on radiographic changes in bronchial and alveolar patterns. Three groups comprising of 10 dogs each were administered ceftriaxone sodium, doxycycline hydrochloride and enrofloxacin for a period of 10 days. One control group was kept to study the radiographic lung pattern. The results showed significant reductions in bronchial and alveolar patterns after antibiotic treatment in all groups, with no significant changes in pleural effusion. Ceftriaxone sodium was found most effective in treating respiratory tract infection in dogs. The study also highlighted the occurrence of cardiomegaly in 10% of the dogs. This research contributes to the understanding of radiographic changes associated with canine respiratory infections and their response to different antibiotic treatments, potentially providing an important aid in clinical decision-making and patient care for veterinary practitioners.
