Hello Mahmoud.

I hope you are enjoying the course.

Thank you for your brilliant comments. The comment regarding the heart/diaphragm were actually the reason the dog was referred. The referring vets were worried about a defect in the diaphragm.

Haematology was unremarkable. Echocardiography was not carried out.

I will pop the full radiology report below.

Hello!

These are all brilliant questions and all things I would evaluate!

Bleeding or IMHA would definitely immediately pop to the top of my DDX list. There were no spherocytes present, slide agglutination was negative and Coombs was also negative. POCUS was performed chest and abdomen and no free fluid was seen… always a good shout! No melena was reported in this case, but I always do a rectal as owners will not always notice this!

The glucose around the time of the episodes was normal. We did run a CK… but I am struggling to find it. It was very mildly elevated.

These were all really important parts of the investigation here… good work!
