Plain-English summary
A Toy Poodle was brought in with lung swelling and gastrointestinal issues. An ultrasound with color Doppler showed that the dog's portal blood vessels were enlarged and twisted, which indicated a portosystemic vascular anomaly, a serious condition where blood bypasses the liver. This diagnosis helped the veterinarian understand the underlying problem and plan appropriate treatment. The specific treatment details were not mentioned, but identifying the issue is a crucial first step in managing the dog's health.

Abstract
Relata-se a avaliação ultrassonográfica, com auxílio do Doppler em cores, da anomalia vascular portossistêmica em um cão da raça Poodle Toy, que apresentou edema pulmonar e alterações gastrintestinais. Ao exame ultrassonográfico, foram observados vasos portais dilatados e tortuosos. Esses resultados associados aos achados clínicos e laboratoriais permitem identificar a anomalia vascular portossistêmica no paciente.<br>It was reported the ultrasonographic evaluation, assisted to Doppler color, of the portosystemic vascular anomaly in a Poodle Toy dog.
