By the end of this lecture, participants will be able to develop a practical, systematic approach to the coughing dog, including differentiating coughing from reverse sneezing and recognizing common cardiac and primary respiratory causes. Participants will review thoracic radiographic interpretation and the advantages and limitations of commonly used diagnostic tests to help determine when cardiac disease should be considered as an underlying cause. Finally, attendees will gain practical guidance on the management of acute and chronic cough, including appropriate use of cough suppressants and treatment considerations based on the underlying disease process.
