Abstract
An eight year old male Lhasa Apso dog was presented for necropsy with the history of
persistent vomition, anorexia,lethargy, dehydration and abdominal distension.Blood picture
revealed marked neutrophilic leukocytosis along with left shift. Necropsy examination revealed
the presence of secondary septic peritonitis and multiple renal / splenic infarcts. Histologically,
perforative/haemorrhagic enteritis, renal infarcts with diffuse glomerular / tubular necrosis
of coagulative type and splenic infarction with occluded artery containing bacterial thromboemboli
were confirmed. Secondary peritonitis has been observed to be a frequent complication
associated with perforation of the intestine.These fatal complications of septic peritonitis present
a therapeutic challenge and needs prompt veterinary care and treatment.
