Abstract
A 4-year-old German Shepherd was evaluated for progressive depression, lethargy, anorexia, and dyspnea. Despite treatment with diuretics and antibiotics, the dog died. Based on clinical, radiographic, and pathologic findings, the diagnosis was heart failure resulting from aortic valvular endocarditis.
