A two-year-old DSH cat presented with a history of coughing and gagging that appeared progressive and worsening in intensity. The cat was up-to-date on all vaccinations. A CBC with differential revealed a modest eosinophilia; there were no biochemical abnormalities. Thoracic radiographs revealed a diffuse interstitial pattern with focal peribronchial densities. A transtracheal wash was performed (Wright–Giemsa, ×10 and ×50 oil, respectively).

What are the main differentials with this pulmonary pattern and peripheral eosinophilia? | Differentials include
The lungworm in cats is Aleurostronglylus abstrusus and the intermediate hosts are snails and slugs. The disease process is often self-limiting, although some cats do require therapy. |
