Could be that the pneumonia
Could be that the pneumonia has caused some fluid or even pus to collect in the space between the lung and the chest wall. The ultrasound will show fluid and if it is there how thick it is and if any pockets have formed. Depending on the size and how the dog is doing they can just continue antibiotics or maybe drain the fluid. Hope all turns out well. Their coloring is similar to my boy!
Any news on your Grandbully?
Hope all is well.

Hi Lynne, he is doing much
Hi Lynne, he is doing much better,the specialist said the white is probably infection so he is on strong antibotics, and a recheck in 2 weeks, but i can see a big difference in him in just a week, so will keep you updated, hope all is well with you
