Abstract

Acute abdomen is a sudden onset of abdominal pain which develop due to multiple etiologies. Among those etiologies gastrointestinal emergencies are considered to be common cause of acute abdomen in dogs. Seventeen dogs had gastrointestinal emergencies which included gastric dilatation and volvulus, foreign body, intussusception and acute pancreatitis. Parameters like haematology, biochemistry, blood gas analysis and acute phase proteins and biomarkers were collected and analysed statistically. Biomarkers were analysed in both survivor and non survivor dogs. The findings highlighted the significance of acute phase proteins and biomarker in predicting the outcome of survivor in acute abdomen dogs with gastrointestinal emergencies.
