Abstract

Peritonitis is characterized as inflammation of the peritoneum and is considered one of the most serious complications in horses. When associated with colic, they are responsible for a high mortality rate. It can present in a primary or secondary form, but diagnosing the origin of this disease is almost always very difficult. Paracentesis turns out to be the most accurate diagnostic method, being analyzed together with all the means sought for an accurate diagnosis.
