– 13 yr old Yorkie presented for weakness, dehydration and increased respiratory effort (trying to die during echo)

– bloodwork unremarkable, rod bacteria seen in urine

– bilateral pyelectasia on ultrasound – presumed pyelonephritis

– heart enlarged on x-ray; echo suspicious for heart base tumour and PAH documented (no pulmonic stenosis)

Do you think there is a cardiac tumour here and what would be the basis of the PAH? (PTE, secondary to the cardiac tumour, pulmonary disease?)

Thank-you ahead of time and happy New Year!
