Comments
Views: Right lateral and ventrodorsal
Quality: Good positioning and exposure

Findings:

Cardiac silhouette appears mildly prominent but likely within normal species variation.

Lungs and air sacs show no clear abnormalities; no evidence of acute pulmonary disease.

Coelomic structures appear normal; no masses or effusion observed.

No acute or displaced fractures identified. Possible healed or healing rib fractures noted as small areas of mineral opacity along rib margins.

Assessment:

No obvious acute traumatic injury detected.

Possible healed/healing rib fractures.

Cardiac size likely normal; no signs of respiratory compromise radiographically.

Plan/Considerations:

Correlate with physical exam and CBC findings.

Parasite screening and treatment reasonable given history.

Recheck imaging if clinical signs progress or fail to improve.
