ABSTRACT
49 A 2-year-old male neutered Chihuahua presents to your clinic as an out of hours emergency.

Results of your initial examination and cage-side diagnostics are given below.
i. What is your clinical diagnosis?
ii. Are any particular dog breeds or types predisposed to this condition?
iii. How would you plan to treat this dog?
