Abstract:
A 6-year-old intact male pug dog was referred to the Atlantic Veterinary College veterinary teaching hospital for a surgical consultation after survey radiographs taken by the referring veterinarian led to a tentative diagnosis of a peritoneal-pericardial diaphragmatic hernia. Computed tomography of the thorax and abdomen prior to surgery further characterized the lesion and aided in surgical planning. Surgical correction of the defect was achieved via primary herniorrhaphy. The patient was discharged and was reported to be doing well 7 months after surgery.
