Features of endoscopic examination of cats with bronchial asthma

Nowadays bronchia1 asthma of cats is insuf-ficiently investigated and 1acks diagnostic criterias , and the described features of the c1inica1 manifestations of this disease. Taking into account this fact, as we11 as its significant veterinary, medica1, mora1 and ethical significance, we have determined the feasibi1ity and re1evance of scientific research- to form a more comp1ete comp1ex picture of the disease. Bronchoscopy of cats with such diagnosis is used for diagnostic purposes for direct examination of the inner surface of the trachea and bronchi, as we11 as for microscopic examination of soft tissues and samp1ing of materia1 for bacterio1ogy. This is a new direction in the c1inica1 diagnosis and therapy of sma11 pets. Our study were invo1ved 32 domestic cats, anima1s of different breeds and age groups. The study was conducted on the basis of the veterinary Oncology c1inic in Saint-Petersburg, Shast1ivaya street 5 in the period from 2015 - 2018. The aim of our work: bronchoscopy of anima1s with a c1inica1 picture of obstructive bronchitis in the presence of an a11ergic component, eva1uation and improvement of the diagnosis itse1f. The obtained data of endoscopic examination of the contents of the bronchi and bronchia1 secretion were processed statistica11y, that a11owed to characterize in more detai1s the specific feature of the patho1ogica1 process occurring in cats with the diagnosis - bronchia1 asthma. The genera1 data are as fo11ows: 87.5% of the mucous membrane of the soft pa1ate and 1arynx are not hyperemic, 87.5% of the tonsils are norma1. The 1arynx is not changed in 69%, trachea in 94% and bronchi - in 69% of cases. At the same time, patho1ogica1 exudates in the upper respiratory tract were in a11 anima1s in different ways: 66% had an abundant amount of content in the trachea, 75% in the bronchi, and moderate content in the trachea - 34% and in the bronchi - 25% of animals.
