- 5 year old FS German Shepherd tested antigen positive twice for HW disease. She is not on preventative.
- The patient is asymptomatic. No microfilaria seen.
- Echo shows normal cardiac measurements, no valvular insufficiencies, and normal size right heart.
- There is a “railroad” echogenic lesion attached to the septal wall, extending into the right ventricular lumen.
- Is this just an artifact or could this be an adult heartworm?
