1. Localization of disease: use history and physical examination to characterize upper vs. lower, airway vs. parenchymal vs. pleural, heart vs. lung,. 2. Respiratory diagnostics:. General: lab work and serology, pulse oximetry, arterial blood gas analysis, ECG?. Imaging: radiography, fluoroscopy, US and CT, transoral and transtracheal wash, respiratory endoscopy, thoracocentesis, FNA and lung biopsy, scintigraphy. Sample analysis: nasal/airway/fluid cytology and culture. 3. Respiratory therapeutics:. Specific drugs: antibiotics, antifungals, glucocorticoids, bronchodilators, mucolytics. Routes of therapy: parenteral vs. enteral, nebulization, metered dose inhalers. Adjunct therapy: coupage, nutritional management, oxygen administration, indications for ventilatory support, chest tube placement. . Disease sections below to include brief history and physical exam features specific for each disorder, relevant pathophysiology, specific diagnostic findings, treatment, prognosis. 4. Nasal disorders. Structural: stenotic nares and brachycephalic syndrome, nasal foreign body, tooth root abscess, nasopharyngeal stenosis. Infectious: Cryptococcosis, aspergillosis. Inflammatory: nasopharyngeal polyps, CRS, LPR. Neoplastic. 5. Diseases of airways. Structural: laryngeal paralysis, tracheal collapse, bronchiectasis. Infectious: canine upper respiratory disease complex (expand to include Bordetella and Mycoplasma bronchitis), parasitic bronchitis. Inflammatory: chronic bronchitis, feline asthma/bronchitis. Neoplastic. 6. Parenchymal disease. Structural: ciliary dyskinesia, lung lobe torsion. Infectious: pneumonia (bacterial, fungal, viral, rickettsial, protozoal). Inflammatory: eosinophilic bronchopneumopathy, aspiration pneumonia, pulmonary fibrosis. Neoplastic. 7. Pleural and mediastinal disease. Structural: pneumothorax, diaphragmatic hernia. Infectious: pyothorax, FIP. Neoplastic. Miscellaneous: hemothorax, chylothorax. 8. Vascular disorders: pulmonary thromboembolism, heartworm disease, pulmonary hypertension
