Gordon Peddle, VMD and Meg M. Sleeper, VMD, Diplomate ACVIM (Cardiology)

From the Section of Cardiology, Department of Clinical Studies, School of Veterinary Medicine, Matthew J. Ryan Veterinary Hospital, University of Pennsylvania, 3900 Delancey Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104.

Bacterial endocarditis is a disease of primarily middle-aged to older, large-breed dogs that is associated with high morbidity and mortality. It presents many challenges with respect to diagnosis and effective treatment. This paper reviews the pathogenesis, clinical presentation, progression, methods of diagnosis, and treatment of bacterial endocarditis in dogs. Methods for proper diagnosis, including echocardiographic findings and blood culture techniques, and recommendations for effective antimicrobial therapy are also provided.
