If the dog is thin, the chest cavity will bulge a little, but the bulge is not obvious, which is a normal physiological structure. If it is abnormally prominent, it may be caused by pleural effusion, sternothoracic vertebral deformity, pneumothorax, tumor, hyperplasia and other reasons. If abnormalities are found, they should be sent to the hospital in time to avoid suffocation and death caused by fluid accumulation on the lungs. If other bones protrude, it is recommended to seek medical examination as soon as possible.

What to do about pleural effusion in dogs:

1. Actively treat the primary disease and give protein-rich feed to maintain plasma colloid osmotic pressure.

2. Let the dog exercise properly every day, limit drinking water, and treat symptoms.

3. In order to increase the blood colloid osmotic pressure, blood transfusion therapy can be carried out. Mature vinegar therapy has a better effect on exudative pleurisy and pleural effusion.
