I got in touch with a vet today on behalf of Chloe. She was not very illuminating, so I will try another. But here are some of her comments:

Bronchitis is a bit like ashma - it can be managed. If it remains an allergic problem then it won't turn into pneumonia but if it becomes bacterial, it could do so. There are a number of drugs that might help and there is a need to try them out to see which one/s will work best for Chloe. Tobacco smoke and aerosol sprays are a curse for any dog with bronchitis or ashma.
