Description Ten  old male mongrel dog weighing 18 kg was presented in recumbency to Veterinary Clinical Complex of NTR College of Veterinary Science, Gannavaram, with a history of anorexia, polyuria, polydipsia and halitosis. It was evident from the history that the dog was diagnosed to be having kidney dysfunction four months earlier and the owner had discontinued the medication. Clinical examination revealed subnormal temperature, pallor mucous membrane and tachycardia. Haemato-biochemical examination revealed anaemia, elevated creatinine, BUN, potassium and phosphorus levels indicating chronic kidney disease. ECG revealed tachycardia and spiked T waves. Ultrasonographic examination revealed shrunken kidneys, while echocardiography showed left ventricular hypertrophy and thickening of interventricular septum. Based on the diagnostic investigation, the case was diagnosed as chronic renocardiac syndrome. Therapy was initiated with fluid therapy, antibiotics, antiemetics, ACE inhibitors, diuretics, proton pump inhibitors and supportive therapy.
