Plain-English summary
A 10-year-old Shih Tzu was brought to the vet after showing signs of lethargy, not eating, coughing, and trouble breathing for two days. The vet tried several treatments, including fluids, steroids, antibiotics, and diuretics, but unfortunately, the dog did not survive. The cause of the symptoms was determined to be acute respiratory distress syndrome, which was confirmed through tissue examination.
