After a busy period here at UCD, I finally have time to get back to presenting you with new cases! Thanks for your patience over the last few weeks. This is a 3 year old Australian Cattle Dog with a cough. Have a look at the case and post your interpretations. Answers will be available on Monday.

Alveolar and bronchial pattern in the dorsal lung fields, mild right side cardiomegaly, prominent main pulmonary artery. The pulmonary arteries are wider than the veins- best visualized on the right lateral view. A small amount of air in the esophagus-most likely an incidental finding.
These findings are compatible with a respiratory disease with a secondary pulmonary hypertension, heartworm disease, lung worms etc. An echocardiogram, blood tests for HWD, fecal tests for lung worms, broncho-alveolar lavage and fungal serologies are recommended.
