31
Q

What clinical features are expected with cats with aspiration pneumonia compared to cats with bronchopneumonia or IAD

32
Q

What form of tracheal wash is more likely to be cellular (endotracheal vs transtracheal), what method can be used to screen for cellularity?

A

Endotracheal more likely to be hypocellular, gross turbidity or mucus presence for screening
Presence of bacteria good predictor of growth

33
Q

how does Aerodawg differ from custom made mask?

A

no difference in lung depositino

34
Q

How does nebulization for 1 minute compared to 5 minutes?

A

lower pulmonary update but better pulmonary/extrapulmonary deposition

Q

How is left atrial enlargement associated with bronchial narrowing?

A

A

not a good marker of bordetella
yes associated with alveolar lesions
