Capillaria aerophila) (dogs, cats)
Crenosoma vulpis (wild canids; Chronic cough clinically mimicking
rarely dogs) chronic sterile bronchitis
Differential Diagnosis Item Key Feature(s)
Eucoleus boehmi (dogs, cats) Chronic sneezing, nasal discharge,
facial rubbing Nerve sheath neoplasia Insidious onset and progressive lameness
(usually forelimb) and atrophy followed by
Filaroides hirthi (dogs only) Breeding kennels; zinc sulfate flotation neck pain; ipsilateral Horner’s syndrome
is best (not Baermann)
and cutaneous trunci deficit possible
Oslerus osleri (wild canids; rarely Nodules in large airway mucosa; Lymphoma More common in cats; lymphoma often
dogs) treatment difficult
evident elsewhere (kidney, gastrointestinal
Paragonimus kellicotti (dogs, cats) Chronic cough ± pneumothorax; tract)
rust-colored pharyngeal phlegm
Lateral and foraminal disc extrusion Acute onset; chondrodystrophic breed;
Pneumonyssoides caninum (dogs) Nasal mite; sensitive to parenteral (and (intervertebral disc disease) paravertebral pain present from the onset
presumably oral) ivermectin
Neuritis Acute onset; rare
Troglostrongylus brevior (cats) Bronchi and bronchiolar infection; Degenerative lumbosacral stenosis Hindlimb lameness often worsens with
larvae in feces difficult to distinguish exercise; sciatic deficit; tail dysfunction
from other metastrongyloids
and incontinence common
