Expert Answer

Common signs of foreign-body pneumonia are cough, fever, and breathing difficulty. It is inflammation of the bronchi and lungs from inhaled foreign material, often caused by wrong dosing methods or swallowing trouble.

If pneumonia is suspected, take the dog to the vet at once to prevent worsening. Treatment first removes the object; if breathing is severe, give oxygen, then inject antibiotics for antibacterial care.
