Document: Case Details A 12-year-old neutered female domestic shorthair cat was referred for evaluation of an abdominal effusion. The owners reported an abdominal distension of three weeks duration, with conservation of general demeanor and appetite. The referring veterinarian detected an abdominal effusion. A chyloabdomen was suspected, according to the gross appearance of the liquid. The cat was housed mainly outside. Her vaccination status was not up-to-date. On physical examination, the cat was bright, alert and normothermic. The body condition score was of 4 out of 9 and she had an unkempt haircoat. A marked abdominal distension was noted. No pain was elicited on abdominal palpation. Cardiorespiratory parameters were within normal limits. Abdominocentesis was performed under sedation. Approximately 300 mL of milky fluid were removed. Triglycerides content in the effusion was highly increased (102.84 g/L; reference range 0.30-1.60). The cytologic analysis of the fluid showed 1000 erythrocytes/µL and 1500 leukocytes/µL, including neutrophils (48%), monocytes (40%) and small, mature lymphocytes (12%). No bacteria nor neoplastic cells were visualized. Based on these findings, chyloabdomen was confirmed.
