What Is Your Diagnosis?

Tucker, S., Archibald, K., Cohen, E. B., Sommer, S., Keene, B. W., Minter, L. J., & Delk, K. W. (2021, December). JOURNAL OF AVIAN MEDICINE AND SURGERY, Vol. 35, pp. 486–493.

TL;DR: A captive 38-year-old female Chilean flamingo presented with an approximately 4-day history of being listless and moving slowly behind the flock and severe dilation of the left ventricle and decreased cardiac systolic function, which prompted diagnostic imaging and medical management of the cardiac abnormalities.
