A 3-year-old, intact female, Shih-tzu dog was presented with a 15-day history of vomiting, depression, and anorexia. On physical examination, systolic ejection murmurs with precordial thrill at the left heart base were detected. A diagnosis of congenital pulmonic stenosis (PS) was made mainly from the thoracic radiography, electrocardiography, and echocardiography. On complete blood counts and serum biochemistry profiles, the dog had already chronic renal failure (CRF). Thoracic radiography confirmed that main pulmonary artery was tremendously buldged and electrocardiography was suggestive of severe right ventricular hypertrophy.
