Hey Dr!
ReplyDeleteHow old was the animal? Is there mild lung consolidation? I think there are pneumonia (I think it is quite mild grossly, if any) and pleurisy. Could possibly due to some viral infection which then led to bacterial (possibly Manhemmia Haemolytica) infection? Is the petechial haemorrhage on the heart of any concern? Also, the presence of pleural effusion could suggest that there is some kind of infection going on. I look forward to seeing other comments. Cheers!
