| To our knowledge this is the first report of pyothorax associated with A. haemolyticum from India. |
| I carry a high deductible policy on our dogs that are actively trialing, and I was very grateful for that policy when one of our dogs suffered a pyothorax in February. |
| Pleuropulmonary complications include pneumothorax, hemothorax, pyothorax and septic pulmonary emboli. |
