The cardiac silhouette is moderately enlarged, which is most visible on the dorsoventral projection. The left atrium is moderately enlarged. There is an alveolar pulmonary pattern in the caudal lung lobes with visible air bronchograms. The cranial lung lobes and pulmonary vasculature appear normal. There is moderate gas distension of the stomach with some laminar soft tissue foreign material.
