A 12-year-old dachshund was referred for respiratory distress, coughing, and weight loss. Cyanosis, dyspnea, tachypnea, and harsh lung sounds were noted on physical examination. Polycythemia with an increased number of nucleated red blood cells; right atrial enlargement; severe interstitial-to-alveolar pattern in all lung fields; and peripheral, echogenic, pulmonary masses were observed. Cytological examination of pulmonary aspirates indicated possible pulmonary carcinoma. The dog was euthanized at the owner's request. Isolated right-ventricular hypertrophy and pulmonary arteriopathy with amyloid deposits of apolipoprotein A1 were identified upon necropsy and histopathology. Pulmonary vascular amyloidosis should be considered in the differential diagnoses of respiratory distress in aged dogs.

A 15-month-old dachshund was presented for examination because of a cough. Thoracic radiographs revealed the presence of a mass in the upper mediastinum. A diagnosis of gammadelta T-cell lymphoma was made by biopsy and flow cytometry analysis. The dog was treated with chemotherapy and remains asymptomatic after 24 months.

A four-year-old dachshund presented with a two-week history of pyrexia, depression, and cough. Four months earlier, the owner observed the dog swallow a whole popsicle stick, but the animal showed no clinical signs at that time. Radiography, ultrasonography, and computed tomography confirmed an intrathoracic linear foreign body and pleural effusion in the right thorax. The pleural fluid was bloody and purulent, and contained inflammatory cells and Escherichia coli. The dog was diagnosed with pyothorax induced by a foreign body, and was treated successfully by surgical removal of the foreign body, partial lung lobectomy, thoracic lavage, and antibiotics. The foreign body was identified as a popsicle stick that the dog had eaten.
