Abstract

Abstract Background: Analysis of different type of consolidation in dogs and cats relay on parenchymal and vascular criteria. Hypothesis: the vascular criteria of the consolidation it’s possible to perform in dogs and cats and vascularisation is different in shred, tissue, nodule, wedge sign and mass. Animals: 347 cats and 634 dogs with different types of consolidations. Methods: Retrospective study between 2018-2023. Lung ultrasound performed in dogs and cats with different types of consolidations. Characteristic of bronchogram: air dynamic and static bronchogram, fluid bronchogram or absence of bronchogram. Types of vascularisations in consolidation: tree like type, residual, chaotic vascularisation and penetrating from the chest wall to consolidation and “vascular sign”. Conclusion and Clinical Importance: Analysis of bronchogram and type of vascularisation in consolidation is possible to perform in dogs and cat. The analysis of mentioned criteria had an impact on subsequent diagnostic and therapeutic decisions
