Abstract
Management of a right-to-left ("reversed") patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) focuses on control of clinical signs associated with hyperviscosity due to erythrocytosis. Pentoxifylline therapy is presented as an adjunct to routine phlebotomies for the long-term clinical management of reversed PDA in a 10-year-old Chihuahua.
