(a)
Figure 14.12 Right lateral (a) and DV (b) projections of an 8-year-old cat presented for respiratory distress. A focal increase in
unstructured interstitial pattern is noted in the dorsal and caudoventral lung fields. The pulmonary arteries were increased in size
(arrows; DV view). The caudal esophagus is dilated, likely due to aerophagia. A heartworm test was positive, and the cat responded well
to corticosteroid therapy.
