Test Your Endoscopy Knowledge!
You are presented with an overweight Beagle who has a chronic cough. Initial haematology and biochemistry testing is unremarkable, and the dog is clinically bright and happy when not coughing. The dog is treated for lungworms. Chest radiographs are unremarkable so you perform a bronchoscopy. The bronchoscopy is largely normal apart from increased mucus in the lower airways, and your bronchoalveolar lavage sample is compatible with moderately increased numbers of macrophages, lymphocytes and non-degenerate neutrophils. Bacterial culture is negative.

2. What treatment options will you offer the owner?
