7y FS Cocker Spaniel with poor recovery from anesthesia. Images are ordered from caudal to cranial. A shunt vessel arises from the
splenic vein (a) and travels medial to the gastric fundus (b–d: arrow) toward the diaphragm. The vessel joins the phrenic vein and then
travels to the caudal vena cava parallel to the diaphragm (e: arrows). See page 507 for Legend for Figures 5.2.1–5.2.18.
