1 Lower respiratory problems of the neonate
Pamela A Wilkins, DVM, MS, PhD  Veterinary Clinics: Equine Practice  Volume 19, Issue 1, Pages (April 2003) DOI: /S (02)

2 Fig. 1 Thoracic radiograph of neonatal foal with aspiration pneumonia. Note alveolar pattern overlying and obscuring the caudal cardiac silhouette. Veterinary Clinics: Equine Practice  , 19-33DOI: ( /S (02) )

3 Fig. 2 Thoracic radiograph of neonatal foal with viral pneumonia. Note alveolar pattern distributed throughout entire lung field with prominent air bronchograms. This pattern can also be seen with acute respiratory distress syndrome after overwhelming sepsis and in the surfactant deficiency seen in extremely premature foals, usually those less than 280 days' gestation. Veterinary Clinics: Equine Practice  , 19-33DOI: ( /S (02) )

4 Fig. 4 Thoracic radiograph of neonatal foal with acute respiratory distress syndrome. Note diffusely distributed patchy interstitial pattern and enlarged pulmonary artery suggestive of pulmonary hypertension. Veterinary Clinics: Equine Practice  , 19-33DOI: ( /S (02) )

5 Fig. 3 Thoracic radiograph of neonatal foal with pneumothorax secondary to multiple rib fractures and lung laceration. Note pleural line in caudal dorsal lung field. Veterinary Clinics: Equine Practice  , 19-33DOI: ( /S (02) )
