NSAIDs (see section 10.1) such as flunixin, ketoprofen, and
carprofen may be used as an adjunct to antibacterial therapy
with beneficial effects on both mortality and future growth
rates. Corticosteroids (see section 7.2) are generally contraindicated
although soluble short acting corticosteroids may
be of value in acutely dyspnoeic animals such as in peracute
bovine respiratory syncytial virus infections.
Mucolytics, for example bromhexine, may be used in some
cases of pneumonia.
