  • Title: Idiopathic pneumoperitoneum in a dog.
    Author: Mehl ML, Seguin B, Norrdin RW, Geddes S, Withrow SJ.
    Journal: J Am Anim Hosp Assoc; 2001; 37(6):549-51. PubMed ID: 11716029.
    Abstract:
    A 13-year-old, neutered male standard poodle with tachypnea and abdominal distension was diagnosed with pneumoperitoneum. Pneumoperitoneum can be due to a perforated gastrointestinal tract, penetrating abdominal wounds, gas-producing bacterial peritonitis, or it can be iatrogenically introduced during surgery. Idiopathic pneumoperitoneum is a condition diagnosed in humans after exclusion of perforated gastrointestinal tract and other known causes of free intra-abdominal gas. This report suggests that dogs may suffer from a similar syndrome.
