Flat-chested kitten syndrome (FCKS) is a disorder in cats wherein kittens develop a compression of the thorax (chest/ribcage) caused by lung collapse. [citation needed] This is a soft-tissue problem and is not caused by vertebral or bony malformation.
A pulmonary consolidation is a region of normally compressible lung tissue that has filled with liquid instead of air. [1] The condition is marked by induration [2] (swelling or hardening of normally soft tissue) of a normally aerated lung. It is considered a radiologic sign.
Even when only one side of the chest is injured, inflammation may also affect the other lung. [37] Uninjured lung tissue may develop edema, thickening of the septa of the alveoli, and other changes. [38] If this inflammation is severe enough, it can lead to dysfunction of the lungs like that seen in acute respiratory distress syndrome. [39]
For lung nodules, air bronchograms used to be associated with infectious causes of consolidation and, therefore to be benign. However, in the setting of a lung nodule, an air bronchogram is actually more frequent in malignant than in benign nodules. [1] [4] studied the tumour-bronchus relationship and described five types: [1]
However, since its introduction to the market in 2013, the drug’s efficacy in cats has been subject to extensive study. The post Apoquel for Cats: Uses, Dosage, & Side Effects appeared first on ...
Appearance of usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) in a surgical lung biopsy at low magnification. The tissue is stained with hematoxylin (purple dye) and eosin (pink dye) to make it visible. The pink areas in this picture represent lung fibrosis (collagen stains pink). Note the "patchwork" (quilt-like) pattern of the fibrosis.
Cats pant after playing to keep themselves from overheating. Cats only sweat through the paws, so cooling down can be harder for them especially if they are one of the longhaired cat breeds .
