Canine pneumonia is a common respiratory disease in dogs, usually caused by infection with pathogens (such as bacteria, viruses, fungi). The key to treatment is to correctly diagnose the pathogen and use effective antibiotics or other drugs to control the infection. However, there are many reasons why dog pneumonia may not improve even with the correct treatment, such as:
The type and drug resistance of the infecting pathogen. Certain bacteria and viruses may become resistant to some antibiotics and antiviral drugs, making treatment more difficult.
The condition becomes complicated. If your dog's pneumonia develops into a severe lung infection or other complications, treatment becomes more difficult.
Other health problems. If the dog has other health problems at the same time, such as heart disease, liver disease, kidney disease, etc., then the treatment of pneumonia may be affected.
Inappropriate treatment. If the medication or treatment used is inappropriate, it may worsen the condition.
Therefore, if the dog’s pneumonia does not improve, it is recommended to contact the veterinarian in time and cooperate with the doctor for further examination and treatment. At the same time, you should pay attention to your dog's health and avoid exposing it to potential pathogens to reduce the occurrence of diseases.
