Objectives
These lectures will focus on the diagnostic and preoperative management of acute abdominal
diseases in dogs and cats. A strategy of hemodynamic monitoring, including identifying
cardiovascular derangements and restoring stability to critically ill patients will be
discussed. Additional topics will include invasive and noninvasive nutritional therapy and
feline renal responses to low dosage dopamine.

The
Acute Abdomen: Presentation and Diagnosis
Initial diagnostic plan and stabilization of patients presenting with signs associated
with intra-abdominal disease. Distinguishing between surgical and nonsurgical patients,

The
Acute Abdomen: The Continuing Plan
Hemodynamic monitoring of the stabilized patient. A systematic approach to evaluating of
the components of the cardiopulmonary system as a means of maintaining cardiovascular
stability and early identification of abnormalities before the patient irreversibly
deteriorates. Specific topics include assessment of blood volume, blood pressure, cardiac
output and blood product, colloid, and hemoglobin therapy.
