Pericardial Effusion
... If the effusion is causing symptoms, it is removed by pericardiocentesis, which involves insertion of a catheter into the pericardial sac to drain the fluid. Dogs with idiopathic effusions usually improve markedly after removal of the fluid; however, the effusion usually recurs in 1-2 months. Remova ...
