What Is Your Diagnosis?

摘要

A 2-year-old castrated male German Shepherd Dog was evaluated at an emergency clinic because of a 1-day history of wheezing and anorexia. The dog had a 1-month history of intermittent coughing with mildly decreased appetite; no exercise intolerance, vomiting, or regurgitation had been noticed. On physical examination, the dog was panting and had a heart rate within reference range and a high rectal temperature (38.6°C [104.1degFI). Lung sounds were slightly harsh on auscultation. A CBC revealed eosinopenia (0.04 X 10~3 eosinophils/muL; reference range, 0.10 X 10~3 to 1.49 X 10~3 eosinophils/)muL), but other values were within reference range. Three-view thoracic radiography was performed while the dog was awake and not sedated (Figure 1; 2 views shown).
