The medical records of five dogs diagnosed with infectious pericardial effusion were reviewed. Clinical signs included anorexia, depression, respiratory distress, abdominal distension, collapse, coughing, and vomiting. Anemia and leukocytosis were present in three dogs. Grass awn migration was confirmed as the cause of the pericardial effusion in two dogs and suspected in the other three. Surgery, followed by continuous chest drainage, and appropriate antibiotic therapy was the treatment in four dogs. Chest drains were removed within 4 days of surgery. One dog did not have chest drainage after surgery. Antibiotic treatment was continued for up to 6 months. The dogs were monitored postsurgically for a period ranging from 3 to 24 months. All dogs recovered well without apparent complications.
回顾了5只被诊断为感染性心包积液犬的病历。临床症状包括厌食、抑郁、呼吸窘迫、腹胀、虚脱、咳嗽和呕吐。3只犬存在贫血和白细胞增多。2只犬心包积液的病因确诊为草芒移行，另外3只犬疑似为此病因。4只犬的治疗方法为手术，随后持续胸腔引流，并进行适当的抗生素治疗。术后4天内拔除胸腔引流管。1只犬术后未进行胸腔引流。抗生素治疗持续长达6个月。术后对这些犬进行了3至24个月的监测。所有犬恢复良好，无明显并发症。
