Just if anything looks out of place please? Dog is a pug x 8yrs and has been struggling to breathe, watery Brown fluid coming from mouth. Just a little bit. She's all out of sorts. eastgate-4848548306108275329_thorax_-chest-thorax_left_lateral-26_04_2023-00_26_48-705eastgate-4848548306108275329_thorax_-chest-thorax_right_lateral-26_04_2023-00_26_48-518eastgate-4848548306108275329_thorax_-chest-thorax_dorso-ventral-26_04_2023-00_26_48-97

Hello. I'm afraid that if you check our site rules, you'll see that we don't interpret radiographs.  For one thing, although these radiographs may be abnormal, I am seeing them completely out of context; I dont know the age, breed, sex or why the picture was taken.  Furthermore, assuming that a vet has taken it, they will offer some explanation of what they have found; an assessment carried out by someone who knows the symptoms, clinical signs and has examined the pet, is infinitely better than mine, which will only serve to muddy the waters.  If a proper second opinion is preferred, your vet will usually be happy to send the original radiographs and their early findings to get one for you - most vets see second opinions as a constructive exercise if time allows.  'Do we have time to get a second opinion on these picture or would it be okay to send for one afterwards?' is usually a constructive question. I think that if you search for 'second opinion' and 'interpret radiographs' in our blog, you will get a better explanation than this.  Always here to answer general questions - wishing you and the patient all the best.
