Abstract

An 8-month-old male French bulldog was
referred to the Small Animal Teaching Hospital,
Chulalongkorn University, on June, 2018, with a
history of exercise intolerance, respiratory discomfort
and frequent ascites since February, 2018. Previous
physical examination showed that the dog had heart
murmur and hepatomegaly. Thoracic radiograph
revealed severe cardiomegaly with pulmonary edema
and ascites. The congenital cardiac disease was
suspected. Since then the dog had been treated with
diuretics (i.e. furosemide and hydralazine). The
abdominocentesis was performed for a period of 4
months prior to hospital visit while frequency of fluid
removal was escalated up to once a week.
