The infection can be caused due to several reasons like the incidence of infectious germs like in the form of bacteria, virus and parasites. The disease can also occur due to the inhalation of toxic fumes. The bacteria infection may lead to bronchopneumonia where symptoms like anorexia, depression, humid cough and fever may be accompanied. In case of viral infection the symptoms of pneumonia and edema comes into prominence. The viral infection may invite further bacterial invasion if the infectious disease is left untreated. Certain dog parasites are also responsible for causing cough in lungs. Information on Subcutaneous Emphysema

As an aftermath of diseases of the lungs - and from other unknown causes - sections of the honeycomb lung tissue breakdown, allowing large pockets to form. These pockets often collect mucus. When many of these pockets are present, a great deal of the lung tissue is useless and the dog has to breathe faster and deeper to oxygenate the blood. This is the disease which in horses is commonly known as heaves. The symptoms are similar in both species.
