Bronchoscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic imaging tool for the specific and accurate diagnosis of the respiratory tract diseases. Bronchoscopic evaluation of twelve dogs presented with a history of chronic respiratory problems were performed under suitable general anaesthesia using two anaesthetic protocols. All the animals were subjected to detailed physical, clinical and haematological examination along with blood gas, electrolyte analysis and radiographic evaluation of neck and thorax prior to bronchoscopy. The findings of the procedure were used for the specific medical therapy. The response of the treatment were assessed and further modifications/ alterations were made.
