Traumatic pericarditis in a dog.

B E Straw, P Ogburn, J W Wilson

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association

|March 1, 1979

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Congestive heart failure in a dog was linked to pericardial effusion and thickened heart layers. Surgical removal of shotgun pellets and affected tissue led to the dog's recovery.

Area of Science:

Veterinary Cardiology
Canine Pathology

Background:

Congestive heart failure (CHF) in dogs can stem from various cardiac conditions.
Pericardial effusion and epicardial/pericardial thickening are significant pathological findings.

Observation:

A canine patient presented with clinical signs consistent with congestive heart failure.
Diagnostic evaluation revealed pericardial effusion and marked fibrous thickening of the epicardium and pericardium.

Findings:

The underlying cause was identified as the presence of foreign material (shotgun pellets) within the pericardial space.
Surgical intervention, including partial pericardiectomy and foreign body removal, was performed.

Implications:

This case highlights the importance of considering foreign body-induced pericardial disease in cases of canine congestive heart failure.
