Some of the presentation material in this prezi was initially provided to me by a fellow RVT. Over the years of teaching the course, I have built on the presentation content and the theoretical components of the presentation.

My 15yr old beautiful Beagle boy-Mr. Farley was just diagnosed with plural effusion last night at ER vet 😵he suddenly presented with lethargy, acting strange-standing stiffly & not able to get comfortable. Trembling & discomfited. Not wanting to walk. Stood in a corner & just stared strangely. Sudden change after he had played happily an hour earlier. He was diagnosed approximately yr ago with stage 3-4 heart murmur. I wonder..can the fluid be result of failing heart. Or would that present as fluid around heart..not abdominal?? Wondering if the lasix they had him on 2 yrs ago for supposed CHF would benefit him? I am waiting for a call from my vet. But just curious if you have any thoughts. He also had a full CBC while at ER. Showed very slight Anemia along with his very slight plural effusion abdominal. Does this mean he has a bleed? Or is the fluid blood? Causing the anemia? He has never showed Anemia before..so I think it is all part of the current problem.

@@sarabechtler7921 I'm sorry to hear about your little guy, regardless of the cause, it's very sad to go through that. Congestive heart failure and right sided heart disease is certainly a disease commonly associated with pleural effusion. Unfortunately when the heart and associated vessels aren't functioning properly they tend to get backed up. This leads to fluid finding a new home, often in the pleural cavity. I wish you the very best with him
