Abstract

Acute respiratory distress is a common problem to the bovine practitioner. Acute respiratory distress can be categorized into upper respiratory disease or lower respiratory disease. Since dyspnea is the primary clinical sign in cases of acute respiratory distress, any condition that can cause dyspnea can cause clinical signs suggestive of respiratory disease. There are also nonrespiratory causes of apparent acute respiratory disease in cattle.
