An unusual case of cortriatrumdexter in a dog

Abstract

There is a high incidence of other cardiac congenital abnormalities associated with CTD. Clinical manifestations vary widley according to the degree of partitioning or septation of the RA. This study show the clinical case of a two-year-old, male intact, crossbreed dog, affect from CTD associated with three other congenital heart malformations: pulmonic stenosis, mitral and tricuspid dysplasia. Diagnosis, monitoring and drug therapy of the clinical case will be reported.
