Abstract
A 10-year-old, male neutered, 10 kg, mixed poodle was presented with a 4-month history of non-productive
cough. The dog was firstly diagnosed pneumonia at the left caudal lung lobe. However, the treatment with
systemic antibiotics, mucolytics and bronchodilators did not improve his clinical signs. Moreover, the regurgitation
with foamy content was developed. The esophagoscopy and contrast radiography with barium sulfate solution
were performed for the definite diagnosis. The bronchoesophageal fistula with secondary pneumonia at the left
caudal lung lobe was diagnosed. The specific treatment for the bronchoesophageal fistula was performed by
the surgical correction via thoracotomy.
