Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To describe the clinical course of a dog with a pheochromocytoma multisystem crisis that exhibited autoresuscitation after cardiac arrest. CASE SUMMARY: An approximately 10-year-old male neutered terrier mix dog presented for collapse. Abdominal imaging was suggestive of a pheochromocytoma, and clinical pathology data and thoracic imaging suggested the presence of a multisystem crisis. The dog developed cardiopulmonary arrest that was followed by autoresuscitation. NEW OR UNIQUE INFORMATION PROVIDED: To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of autoresuscitation in a dog. The phenomenon may have been associated with a pheochromocytoma multisystem crisis.
