In this lecture, a series of clinical cases will be presented in cats with large and small airway disease highlighting the clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, and therapeutic considerations (when applicable).  Awareness of the similarities and differences in these disorders will help provide optimal management, and for the bronchiolar disorders, aid in their classification, which in turn may provide useful for future investigation of optimal treatment strategies.
