Findings

Single dorso ventral projection is available for interpretation. Orthogonal projection could not be obtained due to poor patient's cooperation.

The serosal detail is within normal limits. There are no musculoskelettal abnormalities detected.

The gastrointestinal tract is within normal limits and appears mostly empty.

Diagnosis

An etiology for the reported clinical signs is not found on plain radiographs. Consider advance imaging such as CT/MRI if clinically warranted.
