Plain-English summary
A 7-month-old female jindo dog was brought to the vet because she had severe fluid buildup in her abdomen (ascites), a bluish tint to her skin (cyanosis), and trouble exercising. After tests, the vet diagnosed her with a heart condition called Ebstein's anomaly along with an atrial septal defect (a hole in the heart). The treatment included medications to help her heart function better, reduce fluid, and widen blood vessels.
