Abstract

An intact female, 2 month old, domestic short hair cat, weighing 0.82kg with a history of respiratory distress, anorexia, and depression for 3 days was referred. In laboratory examination, there were no remarkable abnormalities. Radiographic findings mainly included pleural effusion, dilation of pulmonary vessels, pulmonary edema, and ascites. Echocardiography showed dilation of four cardiac chambers, malformation of the tricuspid and mitral valve, and atrioventricular valve regurgitant jet flow. The cat was euthanized by client's request and confirmed to the tricuspid and mitral valve dysplasia by necropsy and histopathologic examination.
