If ultrasound isn&#39;t available I would do a thoracocentesis and see what comes out.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/197203?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 15 May 2018 17:40:32 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:9087f1e6-012d-49db-bcae-0fbdfe915d8bMiriam Lodewyks<p><a href="/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/169/CDB77901_2D00_E251_2D00_496F_2D00_8F88_2D00_FDA0B4842E42.jpeg"><img src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/696x0/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/169/CDB77901_2D00_E251_2D00_496F_2D00_8F88_2D00_FDA0B4842E42.jpeg" border="0" alt=" " /></a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/197202?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 15 May 2018 17:39:41 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:8ebab873-f6e4-4e0f-8c70-90a2c50c84a2Miriam Lodewyks<p>Ultrasound not an option, and yes, I assumed the bullous areas are gas in the pleura, but they look a little like colon. Barium rules that out though.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/197200?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 15 May 2018 17:34:25 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:13c98e4a-a8de-43c1-85b3-35a7d3203045Edward Jones<p>I would say there&#39;s a moderate pleural effusion, rather than gas on the right. Is ultrasound available? Are the bullous areas you refer to scalloping of the lung bordering onto the effusion?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/197199?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 15 May 2018 17:18:15 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:b421028b-d9dc-41b1-a7ec-5479121750ecMiriam Lodewyks<p>Posted on behalf of a colleague: having technical issues.</p> <p>This dog was stabbed in the sternal area by 3 porcupine quils about 16 hours prior to these radiographs. Owner removed the quils and says they were only skin-deep and came out completely. Dog quiet and inappetant immediately after, but brighter after these radiographs were taken. Not overtly dyspnoeic now.</p> <p>I see a right-sided pneumothorax, but the bullous areas cranial to the diaphragm are odd, no? Not something we see often in the UK...</p> <p>Thoughts?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
