Abstract
This report describes a clinical case corresponding to a three-year-old female poodle with "Eisenmerger' Complex" (ventricular septal defect and pulmonary hypertension). A cardiopulmonary disease was suspected from history, physical examination, clinical pathology, thoracic radiographs and electrocardiogram. Colour flow Doppler echocardiography showed a ventricular septal defect and right-to-left shunting. The dog was treated using only phlebotomy to control polycythemia every 5-8 weeks.
