with the history of severe respiratory distress,
retching and lateral recumbency. On physical
examination, there was hyperechoic resonance

silhouette from sternum and atelectic lung lobes.
Thoracocentesis was carried on emergency basis
initially at 8th and 11th intercostals space and
twice at 12 hour interval. Both dogs recovered
clinically from second day onwards. Complete
recovery without any recurrence was observed
from third day onwards. Spontaneous pneumothorax
