Fletch, а 7-yeаr-оld neutered mаle Afghan hоund оwned by Melissa Silverstone, was presented with a history of syncope and coughing. The owner stated that the dog had started “acting older” during the previous few months. The dog used to accompany the owner on walks, but he now preferred to lie on the driveway. An apparent fainting episode is what finally drove the owner to seek medical attention for the dog. Several family members had witnessed the dog rise from a sleeping position then collapse immediately after standing. The dog did not yelp or exhibit any signs of pain, but did seem anxious after the episode. Within ten or fifteen minutes, the dog acted as if nothing had happened. The owner also reported that the dog had begun coughing a few weeks ago. Physical examination revealed the following: TPR 102.3 °F, 130 bpm, panting. Weight 65 lb, BCS 2.5/5. Mucous membranes pale pink, CRT 2.5 seconds. Moderate ascites evident on abdominal palpation. Auscultation revealed grade 1/5 cardiac murmur and increased lung sounds. Slight bilateral jugular vein distension was noted. Radiographs showed left sided enlargement and moderate pulmonary edema. Wide P waves and an increase in amplitude of the R waves were noted on the ECG. Based upon clinical findings and diagnostic tests, the veterinarian suspected degenerative mitral valve disease. Define ascites.
