Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection in a dog.

The article in the Journal of Small Animal Practice discusses a case of partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection in a 9-year-old Bichon Frize dog with neurological deficits. The dog had abnormal pulmonary vein connections to the right atrium, leading to right heart enlargement. This rare congenital heart condition may not always show symptoms but can result in right heart failure due to abnormal blood flow. Echocardiography and CT angiography were crucial in diagnosing and monitoring the condition, despite the dog showing no clinical signs currently. [Extracted from the article]
