– 14 year old MN DLH history of wheezing according to the referring DVM
– was treated for bronchial airway disease with, antibitoics steroids and bronchodilators but not responding
– rDVM did chest rads and worried about subtle changes in the lungs but x-rays very poor quality
– scan showed a “target-like” hypoechoic nodule under 1cm in diameter and the sliding lung interface looks quite scalloped to me
– lung rockets apear to be present so interstital edema? possibly a small amount of effusion is present as well

– CHF unlikely due to normal LA/Ao
So what do you think of these lungs? I suspect this is neoplasia.The pet was quite dyspenic for the exam.

Metastatic vs primary
Metastatic vs primary neoplasia, thromboembolic consolidation, pneumonitis, fungal if in region. I would check th eabdomen for a primary first then fna the hypoechoic lung lesion when sedated the window opens up further.
