A 6-month-old, neutered male, Vietnamese potbellied pig presented for evaluation of exercise intolerance and intermittent episodes of exertional cyanosis. Initial diagnostic evaluation revealed arterial hypoxemia. Transthoracic echocardiogram revealed double-outlet right ventricle (DORV) and a subaortic ventricular septal defect. Agitated saline contrast study confirmed the entry of saline contrast from the right ventricle into both pulmonary artery and aorta. Due to deterioration of clinical status, the patient was euthanized 3 months later. Gross necropsy examination was performed confirming the congenital cardiac defects noted on the echocardiogram. To the authors knowledge, this is the first case report of DORV in a Vietnamese potbellied pig.

Article Synopsis
- Human activities, such as deforestation and urbanization, increase the risk of zoonotic diseases by creating conducive environments for wildlife like rodents and wild boar, which can carry infectious agents like coronaviruses.
- A study in Catalonia during the COVID-19 pandemic tested over 500 animals, including rodents and wild boar, for SARS-CoV-2, finding that the majority were negative, indicating low levels of infection.
- The findings suggest that rodents and wild boar played a negligible role in the transmission of COVID-19 in the area, but ongoing surveillance is necessary due to their proximity to humans and the potential for viral mutations.
