A 9-month-old male American Cocker Spaniel was examined for progressive abdominal distension, tachypnoea, and decreased appetite. Physical examination revealed signs of congestion in the caudal body half only (ascites, congested saphenic vein), and abdominocentesis yielded a modified transudate. Echocardiography revealed an abnormal membrane in the right atrium and cor triatriatum dexter was diagnosed; the diagnosis was confirmed by cardiac catheterization. Successful treatment consisted of balloon dilatation of the pinpoint opening in the abnormal membrane. The dog recovered well, with the ascites resolving within a week, and its further development was normal.
一只9个月大的雄性美国可卡犬因进行性腹胀、呼吸急促和食欲减退接受检查。体格检查仅发现身体后半部有充血迹象（腹水、隐静脉充血），腹腔穿刺抽出了一种改良漏出液。超声心动图显示右心房有异常隔膜，诊断为右心房三房心；心脏导管检查证实了该诊断。成功的治疗方法是对异常隔膜上的针孔进行球囊扩张。这只狗恢复良好，腹水在一周内消退，其后续发育正常。
