Treatment methods for dog ascites:

1. First identify whether the ascites is exudate or transudate, find out the original disease, and eliminate the ascites.

2. To enhance the absorption and discharge of leaked fluid, cardiotonic diuretics can be used, digitalis tablets 0.01 mg/kg body weight, taken orally, once a day. Furosemide injection 2-5 mg/kg body weight, 1-2 times/day.

3. When there is a large amount of ascites, you can perform puncture and drain the fluid at the lowest point of the abdominal wall, but the amount should not be too large at one time to prevent collapse.

4. Intravenous infusion of 22-250 ml of 17 kinds of amino acids, 20-300 ml of dextrose, 0.5-4 ml of 10% vitamin C, 50-300 units of coenzyme A, 10 adenosine triphosphate ~100 mg mixed and intravenously infused, once a day.

Causes of hydroperitoneum in dogs:

1. Exudate storage: During peritonitis, exudate increases and the reabsorption capacity of the peritoneum decreases. .

2. Hypoalbuminemia: Due to the lack of protein in the body, reduced colloid osmosis in the blood, kidney disease, protein leakage gastroenteritis, and low osmotic pressure cause a large amount of fluid to enter the abdominal cavity to form ascites.

3. Liver parenchymal disorders: such as cirrhosis, liver abscess, parenchymal hepatitis, tumor, portal vein embolism, etc., which make it difficult for blood and lymphatic fluid to return, and portal vein congestion causes water to leak out from the blood vessel wall. , causing ascites.

4. Pulmonary diseases: such as valvular heart disease, chronic pericarditis, hydropericardium, heartworm disease, chronic alveolar emphysema, tuberculosis, tumors, etc., resulting in increased capillary pressure and increased tissue fluid. , edema and ascites appear.
