A 3-year-old spayed female Rottweiler dog was brought to a veterinary clinic because of weakness, lethargy, and hair coat changes. Hematology and clinical chemistry assessments revealed anemia, hypoalbuminemia, hyperglobulinemia, and hypothyroid. After persistent pyuria, an ultrasound-guided cystocentesis was completed, which revealed a large abdominal mass. A presumptive diagnosis of canine lymphoma with renal spread was made. Due to a poor prognosis, the dog was euthanized., (Copyright and/or publishing rights held by the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association.)
