Perioperative management of cases undergoing phaeochromocytoma removal should aim at normalising blood pressure and heart rate, restoring volume depletion, and preventing catecholamine release induced by surgical manipulation. In this case report, a novel pharmacological approach in a dog undergoing surgical tumour excision is described. A 7-year-old 25-kg spayed female Labrador Retriever presented for repeated episodes of generalised weakness, pale mucous membranes, tachycardia, tremor, panting, vomiting, and hypertension over the last month was referred for surgical treatment of a left-sided adrenal tumour with invasion of the caudal vena cava.

Sustained or paroxysmal hypertension (HT) is the most frequent sign of pheochromocytoma. In some cases, it is associated with the classic triad including episodic headaches, sudoresis, and tachycardia; however, we present a case of pheochromocytoma with first presentation of cardiomyopathy.
