Abstract
Cardiac diseases, particularly those cause right-sided heart failure, should considered as a cause of chylothorax in cats. Jugular vein dist ention and results of echocardiography may be important in the diagnos is of right-sided heart failure in cats with chylothorax. Treatment ob jectives should include controlling the underlying cardiac disease and decreasing systemic venous pressures.
