Design Retrospective multicenter study (March 2019 to April 2023). Setting Two veterinary teaching hospitals and one diagnostic imaging telemedicine service. Animals Twenty‐seven client‐owned dogs with thoracic trauma and CT findings compatible with pulmonary contusions. Interventions None. Measurements and Main Results Medical records were retrospectively searched for dogs with thoracic trauma and CT findings compatible with pulmonary contusions. Demographic parameters, PPCV, presence of pneumothorax or pleural effusion, number of fractured ribs, provision of MV, and outcome were recorded. CT studies were reviewed, and PPCV was calculated using commercial software following a standardized protocol. Nonsurvivors had a higher PPCV (median, 49.6% [range, 4.2–81.3]) than survivors (median, 6.5% [range, 0.1–52.9]; p  = 0.005). Dogs that received MV also had a higher PPCV (median, 41.4% [range, 4.2–81.3]) compared with dogs that did not (median, 7.5% [range, 0.1–66.7]; p  = 0.015). Conclusions In this population of dogs with thoracic trauma, nonsurvivors and dogs that received MV had a higher PPCV, as evidenced by CT. 10.1111/vec.70075 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/
