Abstract
A 5-month-old female Samoyed dog was presented with primary complaints including exercise tolerance and neurological sign associated with hepatic encephalopathy. The major findings in clinical examination included an intermittent seizure, anemia, elevated pre- and post-prandial serum bile acid, hypoproteinemia and bilirubinuria. Diagnostic imaging studies revealed an intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (IPSS). The shunted vessel was successfully occluded by transvenous coil embolization. Clinical signs were gradually improved after shunt occlusion. This case is a rare case of IPSS in a large breed dog fixed by transvenous coil embolization.
