Plain-English summary
A 1-year-old female mongrel dog was brought to the vet because she had not been eating and was vomiting for four days. An ultrasound showed that her kidneys were small and had multiple cysts, which indicated a serious condition called multicystic dysplastic kidney disease. Unfortunately, due to her poor prognosis, the decision was made to euthanize her. A full examination after her passing confirmed the diagnosis.

Abstract
A 1-year-old female mongrel dog was evaluated for anorexia and vomiting of 4 days duration. Abdominal ultrasonographic findings revealed small kidneys with multiple anechoic cysts. The dog was euthanized due to poor prognosis. A full necropsy was performed, and the histopathologic findings were consistent with multicystic dysplastic kidney disease.
