Effect of peritoneal lavage on bacterial isolates in 40 dogs with confirmed septic peritonitis.

Objective: To evaluate bacterial isolates, antimicrobial drug susceptibility, and change in resistance among pre- and post-lavage culture samples in dogs with septic peritonitis.

Design: Prospective observational study.

Setting: Private practice referral hospital.

Dynamic upper airway obstruction secondary to severe feline asthma.

A 2 yr old castrated male cat presented to an emergency referral facility for several episodes of gagging, nonproductive coughing, and increased respiratory effort.
