Thank you.

Highly cellulair sample not usually seen in the spleen
Population of cells which show criteria of malignancy: anisocytosis, anisocorie, prominent nucleoli, multiple nuclei, nuclear molding
The population of cells show a combination of epithelial, mesenchymal and round cell population.
No pigment can be seen.
I would be worried about amelanotic melanoma

Eccentric hypertrophy of the left ventricle. Thickened mitralis valves with prolaps of posterior leaflet.
I think blood culture should be done (since the dog has pyrexia of unknown origin)
For the frontlimb lameness I would be worried about a tromboembolie. I would measure glucose level central (v. jugularis) and periferal (in this limb) to see if there is a difference which is suggestive of embolus.

Thanks for your tip! I was also able to watch the videos after downloading the file.
I agree with Nathalie, only am wondering about “The pulmonary artery also looks enlarged (Ao/PA less than 1). PA enlargement suggests shunt or pulmonary hypertension to me”> could this maybe due to decreased cardiac output (systolic function) that the Ao is smaller in size??
I would be worried about DCM!
Kind regards,
Anna
