Abstract
A 9.52 kg, 9-year-old, spayed female beagle was presented with the chief complaint of abdominal distention of 1 week's duration. A presumptive diagnosis of canine intestinal lymphangectasia was arrived at by exclusion of other causes for the patient's ascites. The patient was successfully treated with dietary modification and immunosuppressive therapy.
