Abstract

A 12-year-old toy Poodle was presented to the hospital to determine the cause of chronic ascites. The complete cardiology work-ups which included radiography echocardiography and electrocardiogram revealed that the right heart failure was due to moderate-to-severe pulmonary hypertension secondary to myxomatous mitral valve disease as the cause of the ascites. The consistently lower tricuspid regurgitation velocities measured throughout the observation periods indicating underestimation of pulmonary hypertension severity were worthy of note. During the follow-up periods the treatment regimens were adjusted in accordance to the clinical signs to control the right heart failure.
