Abstract

A 4-year-old female cat was admitled to a veterinary clinic on May 10, 1986 in a state of acute respiratory distress. It showed anorexia, dyspnea, anemia, hemoglobinuria and systolic regurgitant murmur.<BR>Microfilariae were seen in peripheral blood. The diagnosis of the venae cavae syndrome by Dirofilaria immitis was made. Surgically, 7 adult worms were removed from the jugular veins. Therefore, the cat recovered without complication. It had a few circulating microfilariae even 239 days after the surgery.
