13. Nasogastric intupation

21. Bilateral inspiratory and expiratory wheezes in the caudodorsal lung fields

22. Reduced vesicular sounds bilaterally in the ventral lung fields

24. Mild oxygen desaturation (92.3%, rr. > 95%)

25. -> A n intra-nasal cannula and oxygen insufflation initiated (15L/min)

27. Thoracic radiographs revealed aspiration pneumonia

29. -> euthanasia [Picture]: Lateral radiograph of the caudodorsal lung field. A mixed bronchoalveolar-interstital pattern (typical of aspiration pneumonia) is present (arrows).

31. Pulmonary emphysema

32. A large amount of oil globules were apparent in the pulmonary parenchyma Lipid droplets are grossly visible within the lumen of the trachea (arrows).

34. Equine lipoid pneumonia are chronic rather than acute in nature

36. Thoracic ultrasonography reveals an increased number of comet tails
