Animals with smoke inhalation should be given a thorough diagnostic evaluation. Optimal care relies on the information derived, as well as judicious choice of therapeutic measures. Careful attention to such animals by the veterinarian and allied staff is important to minimize suffering and to enhance not only the likelihood of survival, but also the extent of recovery.
