What are the signs and symptoms of pneumonia in dogs, besides fever?

Question

Do dogs get pneumonia? If yes then what are its signs and symptoms other than fever

Dr. Massimo Orioles, DVM, Cert AVP, MRCVS · Accepted Answer

Yes, they do. Main signs can be hyperthermia, lethargy,inappetence, weakness/exercise intolerance, cough, dyspnoea (with rapid and superficial breathing), abnormal stance due to breathing abnormalities, in severe cases nasal discharge. Other signs may be related to the origin of pneumonia (can be bacterial, viral, tumoral, parasitic and so on). Other signs may be present but are related to specific tests (x rays, blood tests and so on).
