  −
**'''Horses'''
  −
***Usually secondary to [[Lungs Inflammatory - Pathology|pneumonia]] or [[Lungs Inflammatory - Pathology#Pulmonary abscesses|lung abscesses]]
  −
***[[Streptococci|''Streptococci'']] are most commonly isolated
  −
***Usually yellow exudate
  −
***Often triggered by stress of travelling, competition or similar
  −
**'''Dogs'''
  −
***Often results from migrating grass awns
  −
***[[:Category:Actinomycetes|''Actinomyces, Nocardia'']] and [[Bacteroides|''Bacteroides'' spp.]] are the most frequently recovered organisms
  −
***Usually blood stained viscous or creamy exudate, often bilateral
  −
***Yellowish granules may be present within the exudate
  −
***Thickened pleura, sometimes fibrinous
  −
**'''Cats'''
  −
***Pathogenesis is unclear, possible due to bite wounds or penetrated oesophagus
  −
***[[Pasteurella species and Mannheimia haemolytica|''P. multocida'']] and other Gram-negative organisms are frequently recovered
  −
***Usually creamy yellow or greyish brown exudate, often bilateral
