Case summary An 11-year-old male neutered cat was referred to The Ohio State University’s Veterinary Teaching Hospital after being diagnosed with pleural effusion by a referral veterinarian. After thoracocentesis, analysis of the effusion was consistent with chyle. Echocardiography, radiographs and bloodwork were used to diagnose hypertrophic cardiomyopathy phenotype and left-sided congestive heart failure, suspected to be secondary to uncontrolled hyperthyroidism. While initiating medical therapy, repeated thoracocenteses were required. A severe pneumothorax developed, necessitating placement of bilateral thoracostomy tubes. A thoracic CT scan did not reveal a cause for the pneumothorax; therefore, it was suspected to have occurred secondarily to an iatrogenic laceration of the parenchyma during thoracocentesis. An autologous blood patch pleurodesis was considered contraindicated so instead the cat was administered a blood patch using blood from a canine blood donor. The cat’s respiratory status remained stable without additional intervention. At 30 h after blood patch pleurodesis, the thoracostomy tubes were removed and thoracic radiographs revealed near resolution of the pleural effusion and pneumothorax. The cat remained subclinical and was discharged from the hospital 48 h after the blood patch pleurodesis. Upon follow-up at 4 and 8 weeks after discharge, the cat was alive and had no complications or adverse reactions from the blood patch pleurodesis. Relevance and novel information This case documents the first report of a xeno-blood patch pleurodesis performed in a cat using blood from a canine donor. The cat had a successful discharge from the hospital with no adverse reactions from the xeno-blood patch pleurodesis.

A 10‐year‐old, neutered, male Pitbull was presented to the oncology service with dyspnoea, approximately 16 months after treatment with amputation and chemotherapy for appendicular osteosarcoma, and 4 months after development of diffuse pulmonary metastatic disease. Thoracic radiographs diagnosed bilateral pneumothorax, presumed secondary to metastatic osteosarcoma. The pneumothorax was refractory to conservative management, and two autologous blood patch pleurodesis procedures were performed 48 hours apart, according to a previously published protocol. Marked radiographic improvement was evident within 24 hours of the autologous blood patch pleurodesis procedures, and the dog was discharged 6 days after initial presentation. Approximately 13 weeks later, the dog was humanely euthanased due to progressive clinical signs. This report describes the development of spontaneous persistent pneumothorax secondary to osteosarcoma metastatic disease in a dog, and its palliation with autologous blood patch pleurodesis. This case demonstrates that autologous blood patch pleurodesis can be considered as a treatment option for pneumothorax secondary to metastatic disease in dogs.
