Hello. Unfortunately it looks like Suzy has a tumor or some other very large space occupying mass involving almost 75% of her thoracic cavity. Suzy would need further diagnostics, such as a biopsy, to identify exactly what is in her lungs, but the condition looks very advanced. I hope your veterinarian is making her as comfortable as possible. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
