My dogs rib cage has been like this on both sides for 3 years or more, he has acted normal throughout those years. I asked my vet and they said it because of aging. My dog got hit by a car a couple of years back if that helps.

Yes, that looks like it could be from old fractures. If it is not bothering him I don't think I would be overly worried. If you do think it is bothering him or you are worried about it in general, x-rays would give you a definite answer so you may want to consider having that done. Hope this helps. Best wishes!
