Canine Haemoabdomen - Part 1


Listen Later

In a recent Facebook survey 80% of 150 respondents mentioned haemoabdomen, especially due to splenic rupture, as a top cause of collapse in dogs. This is the first of a two-part mini-series on canine haemoabdomen loosely based around the following review article:

Herold LV, Devey J, Kirby R, Rudloff E. Clinical evaluation and management of hemoperitoneum in dogs. J Vet Emerg Crit Care 2008. 18(1):40-53.

Points discussed in this episode include:

  • Causes of canine haemoabdomen
  • Canine abdominal haemangiosarcoma
  • Restoring an effective circulating blood volume
  • Diagnosing haemoabdomen
  • Further points to be discussed in the second part include maintaining adequate oxygen-carrying capacity, arresting haemorrhage, possible use of abdominal counterpressure etc.
