Abstract

An 8-year-old 40-kg (88-lb) neutered female Dogue de Bordeaux was referred for evaluation of weakness and dyspnea of 24 hours’ duration. On physical examination, the dog had tachypnea, dyspnea, abdominal distension, and pale mucous membranes. Femoral pulses were irregular in rate and intensity. Auscultation revealed muffled heart sounds, and after a lateral thoracic radiographic view was obtained and assessed, pericardial effusion was strongly suspected. Cardiac tamponade was diagnosed on the basis of subsequent echocardiographic findings
