A radiograph confirms the suspected diagnosis. This radiograph was taken conscious and therefore is a dorsoventral view rather than the preferred lateral. Note that this dog was so big the entire abdomen did not entirely fit onto the largest plate which was used here.

The caudal part of the thorax and the apex of the heart can be seen towards the top of the image. Part of the greatly distended stomach can be seen in the lower left quadrant of the radiograph.
