Hello, I was hoping for some opinions on the lung pattern in this cat as well as some differentials. This is Squeaker an 11 year old DSH who has not been doing well for the last 2 weeks. Eating is decreased, losing weight and difficulty breathing.
She is a fractious cat so Physical exam was somewhat limited but the dyspnea was obvious. Managed to get xrays with some oxygen and found these findings on the xrays.
From afar at first glance I was thinking nodular interstitial pattern and metastasis but on closer inspection it appears to be a marked bronchiolar/interstitial pattern. There is marked inflammation of the interstitium surrounded by obvious bronchi.
We later changed our top rule out to airway disease possibly asthma. We have toxoplasma on the list but lower and we have moved away from neoplasia. I was hoping for some opinions on these rads and the pattern present. Thanks so much. Brent.
p.s Try as I might I could not get the other 2 views to load. The only one that posted was the teaser image. They all loaded fine but don’t seem to be showing up in the post. I tried file attachments and everything. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.
