| Abstract: | A 2-year-old female African pygmy hedgehog (Atelerix albiventris) presented to emergency for anorexia, lethargy and vulvar discharge. Tranquilization with midazolam, administration of oxygen therapy and facemask anesthesia with isoflurane were used for radiography study which showed increased radio-opacity and silhouette sign in the thoracic cavity. The patient underwent cardio-respiratory arrest during the performance of TFAST echocardiography. TFAST confirmed pleural effusion, a nodule in the chamber of the right atrium. Abdominal ultrasound revealed two fluid filled structures compatible with left ovarian cysts. Necropsy confirmed dilated cardiomyopathy, bilateral atrial thrombi, endometrial hyperplasia and two left ovarian cysts. |
