Veterinary Radiology

Today’s case is a 4 year old Labrador Retriever with a complicated history of heat stroke and pneumonia diagnosed 1 week ago, and respiratory distress and pyothorax with pneumothorax diagnosed yesterday. It’s a challenging thoracic case so take a look and make your own interpretations. Answers will be available on Monday.

Today’s case is in the special species realm, but represents a condition that spans across all species. It’s a 10 week old Eurasian Eagle Owl with an injury of the left wing noted today. Take a look at the radiographs and post your interpretations. Answers will be posted within the case itself on Monday.

Everyone did a great job with interpreting last week’s case. There were plenty of comments, which makes me think that you are all more comfortable looking at musculoskeletal cases than thorax or abdomen. I’d love to hear some feedback on what types of cases you find most challenging. Although it’s easier to work on a strength, you’ll gain more from working on a weakness.

This week we have a 1 year old female Miniature Schnauzer who has been lethargic and anorexic for two days. Take a look at the images and post your comments and questions.
