Prognostic indicators in cats with septic peritonitis | VETgirl Veterinary Continuing Education Podcasts

In this VETgirl online veterinary CE podcast, we review prognostic indicators in septic peritonitis in cats. In a study by Scotti et al, find out what parameters to look for in our veterinary patients to see if we can improve the survival in cats diagnosed with septic peritonitis. Peritonitis, referring simply to inflammation of the peritoneum, can be classified as septic via a positive bacterial culture, the presence of intracellular bacteria on effusion cytology, or confirmed visceral perforation.
