&lt;p&gt;you may get a more useful answer in the diagnostic imaging folder but I think this is likely normal. The diaphragm won&amp;rsquo;t always be a smooth dome as it depends on the timing relative to the stage of respiration and, being a pug, they never look very normal anyway!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;if you have had the imaging looked at by an imaging specialist and they are happy it&amp;rsquo;s normal then I would definitely be under qualified to suggest otherwise!&lt;/p&gt;
