This week’s case is a 4-year-old female neutered Labrador Retriever with fever of unknown origin. What are your findings?

  1. why is it pulmonary edema and not pleural effusion? In the lateral projection of the chest it appeared to be pleural effusion

  2. It is both. That’s why the bicavitary effusion and soft tissue opacity in the pleural space with retraction of the lung lobes and partial silhouetting with the cardiac silhouette was mentioned.

  3. Another doubt would be in the Dorso-ventral projection of the chest the vessels were very evident in the left caudal lobe. Is this just an effect of the positioning or does it indicate a change?
