Bacterial pneumonia can present in both dogs and cats as either acute or chronic disease, and clinical signs may suggest respiratory or systemic impairment. Aspiration pneumonia, a common form of disease, can be caused by esophageal or laryngeal disease, vomiting, or altered mentation, such as with CNS disease or general anesthesia. Bacterial pneumonia can also develop due to inhaled airway foreign bodies, reduced local immune function, or impaired clearance of respiratory secretions. Rapid identification of the etiology and associated risk factors for pneumonia can help veterinarians develop a targeted therapeutic plan and prevent recurrence of disease.
细菌性肺炎在犬猫中均可表现为急性或慢性疾病，临床症状可能提示呼吸或全身功能受损。吸入性肺炎是一种常见的疾病形式，可由食管或喉部疾病、呕吐或精神状态改变（如中枢神经系统疾病或全身麻醉）引起。细菌性肺炎也可因吸入气道异物、局部免疫功能降低或呼吸道分泌物清除受损而发生。快速识别肺炎的病因及相关危险因素有助于兽医制定有针对性的治疗方案并预防疾病复发。
