Figure 1. The definitive diagnosis of canine bronchomalacia was made by bronchoscopy in this study. (A) Bronchoscopic view showing severe collapse of the left and right principal bronchus (LPB and RPB). (B) Bronchoscopic image at the same level of the carina from a dog without bronchomalacia. (C, D) Bronchoscopic images demonstrating the dynamic collapse of the lobar bronchus of the accessory lobe (RB3) and the right caudal lobe (RB4) in a dog with severe bronchomalacia.
