Abstract

The Hydrops fetalis is a disease characterized by abnormal accumulation of extravascular fluid in the tissues or body cavities. In human medicine the diagnosis is usually performed during the prenatal ultrasound examination. This study aims to report the intrauterine diagnosis of fetal hydrops in a fetus of a Poodle dog. In a late prenatal ultrasound the presence of pleural and peritoneal effusion were detected. The ultrasound findings were confirmed in the post-mortem examinations.
