This case reported a 4-month-old male puppy was admitted to the Small Animal Hospital of Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of Selcuk University with complaints of loss of appetite stagnation reluctance to walk polyuria polydipsia and abdominal distention. Sepsis and sepsis related nephrotic syndrome was diagnosed by clinical and laboratory examinations.

The puppy did not respond to the supportive and anti-proteinuric treatment and due to worsening of the clinical condition euthanasia was performed. Sepsis related nephrotic syndrome and cardiac complications were confirmed via pathology. It was concluded that nephrotic syndrome is a rare condition in younger dogs which can be predisposed by sepsis leading to severe cardiomyopathy. Biochemical analysis of serum together with ultrasound and electrocardiogram examination are integral components in the diagnosis of nephrotic syndrome and its related complications.

Abstract

This case reported a 4-month-old male puppy was admitted to the Small Animal Hospital of Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of Selcuk University with complaints of loss of appetite stagnation reluctance to walk polyuria polydipsia and abdominal distention. Sepsis and sepsis related nephrotic syndrome was diagnosed by clinical and laboratory examinations. Cardiac complications such as ventricular premature complexes myocardial injury and calcification were detected by electrocardiographic and echocardiographic examinations. The puppy did not respond to the supportive and anti-proteinuric treatment and due to worsening of the clinical condition euthanasia was performed. Sepsis related nephrotic syndrome and cardiac complications were confirmed via pathology. It was concluded that nephrotic syndrome is a rare condition in younger dogs which can be predisposed by sepsis leading to severe cardiomyopathy. Biochemical analysis of serum together with ultrasound and electrocardiogram examination are integral components in the diagnosis of nephrotic syndrome and its related complications.
