title: Experimental drug therapy for respiratory disorders in dogs  and cats.
abstract: Experimental therapy in veterinary medicine is based on empiric reasoning. If a particular therapy is labeled experimental, it means that its effectiveness has not been demonstrated scientifically. Empiric therapy is experimental and is based on experience, not on scientific proof. The purpose of this article is to suggest the use of specific experimental drug therapies for certain respiratory disorders in dogs and cats.
