Hello,

This is a Bichon-Shitzu 11 years old M/N with episodes of weaknes, drooling, minor seizures. His bloodwork was unremarkable.

His RDVM recommended and AUS. One segment of ileum was abnormal with thick walls and reactive fat surrounding it. No obvious reason for his clinical symptoms.

Due to seizure/syncopae history and able to hear a systolic murmur I did “put “the probe on the heart to do the “eyeball quick exam”. I was able to see the mitral regurg jet but also an AO insuf. jet.

Was wondering if this is significant, if this dog can have volume pressure overload, decrease fractional shortening ( I’ve got 25%) with depressed contractility and if this can explain his syncopae episodes. If yes I will recommend a full ECho.

Thank you.
