Today’s case is a 13-year-old male neutered domestic shorthair cat with intermittent chronic cough, presenting in respiratory distress. What are your differential diagnoses?

Hello Allison,
Besides all the findings, it seems to me that there is vascular pattern, enlargment of the arteries and veins but only seen on the dv projection. Also, the spleen seems probably bigger since it is a cat and it is seen in two views. If you agree, would you think this could be due to passive congestion?
Thank you very much for all your posts!!

Hello Pablo,
The pulmonary arteries and veins do look a bit big on the dorsoventral projection, however I think we see this frequently in cats and it may not be significant. The echocardiogram that was performed was completely normal. Hope that helps!
Thank you very much!
