Hello

The x ray is of good quality and the dog seems to have excess fat so a high BCS.
there is small amount of osteophyte formation on some of the vertebrae which is to be expected with age.
the dog is intubate and microchipped

the heart is slightly enlarged as occupying more then 1/3 of the thorax on lateral and DV.it is also more than 2.5 rib spaces in size. the heart has increased sternal contact of the sternum.
i think is looks like some increased bronchial signs and multifolcal patterns on the lung field. maybe mix with bronchial and interstitial pattern?

my dxx would be
pulmonary oedema with cardiomegaly
tracheal collapse and negative pressure oedema
neoplasia
