(a) An electrocardiogram from a dog with hypoadrenocorticism. The potassium was measured as 8.9 mmol/l at the time of the recording. Atrial activity is suppressed, T waves are larger and peaked, and there are periods of arrest. (b) After emergency treatment the potassium had decreased to 6.4 mmol/l. P waves are now visible, the heart rate has increased and the T wave is much smaller. © 2018 British Small Animal Veterinary Association

Dorsoventral thoracic radiograph from a dog with acuteonset dyspnoea. The radiograph shows hyperlucency of the lung fields on the right side. The right caudal lobe pulmonary artery extends to the 11th intercostal space and is of increased diameter with a club-shaped appearance to its terminal aspect. There is also an alveolar pattern in the left cranial lung lobe, which may represent an additional area of pulmonary thromboembolism or a different disease process such as aspiration pneumonia. © 2018 British Small Animal Veterinary Association
