Abstrakt: This article discusses a case study of a 1-year-old female Shiba Inu dog with a diagnosis of portosystemic shunt (PSS). The dog showed hyperammonemia and increased levels of certain enzymes in the blood. CT imaging revealed that the dog had a bilateral simple ectopic kidney, spinal synostosis, congenital PSS, and segmental aplasia of the caudal vena cava (CVC) with azygos continuation. The dog received symptomatic treatment for PSS but did not undergo surgical treatment. [Extracted from the article]
