Abstract

The article presents a case study of a 6-year-old male Labrador Retriever dog having an intracardiac mass. The dog was suffering from inappetence, lethargy, and exercise intolerance. Echocardiographic examination showed a intracardiac mass connected to the right ventricular septum. The patient was diagnosed with right-sided heart failure due to the intracardiac mass that partially obstructed pulmonary outflow during ventricular systole.
