  • Most common in dogs
  • Grossly:
    • Lungs retain fetal appearance and are poorly aerated
  • Histologically:
    • Uneven size and shape of alveoli, smaller number overall
    • Dilated blood vessels within extensive interstitial tissue
  • It is possible that in utero infection may contribute to this
