Abstract

A 7-week-old male crossbred puppy was presented in acute respiratory distress. A diagnosis of left- and right-sided heart failure was confirmed on postmortem examination. The heart had a severely hypoplastic right ventricle. Hypoxemia and ischemia are postulated to be the result of cardiac decompensation.
