A 6-year-old MN Yorkshire terrier with history of elevated ALP activity and current therapy with Denosyl, was initially presented for evaluation of a slight but persistent cough, PU/PD, and diarrhea for one week duration. Abnormalities on physical examination were a pot-bellied abdomen and pyrexia (103.2В°). CBC and blood chemistry showed mildly elevated MCHC, hypoglycemia, elevated BUN and elevated ALP activity, and hyperglobulinemia. Eight months later he was presented for coughing 3-4 times a day and increased PU/PD. On physical examination a gallop rhythm was present on auscultation.
