Hi Emma,

Thanks for the suggestions. I absolutely agree, we want to be using ultrasound to look for any evidence of CHF in a cat with respiratory distress (with or without a heart murmur). The FAST scan showed a normal left atrium but multiple coalescing B-lines. How would you interpret this, what could be the cause for the B-lines? Then what would your next steps be (I see you said thoracic radiographs which I completely agree with), would you do anything else?

I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
