ABSTRACT Non-cardiogenic pulmonary oedema can occur in canine patients as a result of various events. Post-obstructive oedema can occur post choking and results in a rapid accumulation of fluid in the extravascular spaces of the lung. Arterial blood gas analysis and intense patient monitoring are vital to determine the need for further intervention. Treatment can include ventilation, oxygen therapy and medication.
