Signs of ascites were observed in only nine of 1863 cattle examined over a period of five years. The ascites was most commonly associated with either primary or secondary cardiac disease; cattle with ascites have a poor prognosis because the condition is usually assocaited with terminal disease. Two animals had cor pulmonale with chronic pneumonia, three had cardiomyopathy, one had bacterial endocarditis, two had thrombosis of the caudal vena cava and one had diffuse abdominal epithelioid mesothelioma.
在五年期间检查的1863头牛中，仅9头观察到腹水迹象。腹水最常与原发性或继发性心脏病相关；患有腹水的牛预后不良，因为这种情况通常与终末期疾病有关。2头患有肺心病合并慢性肺炎，3头患有心肌病，1头患有细菌性心内膜炎，2头患有尾腔静脉血栓形成，1头患有弥漫性腹部上皮样间皮瘤。
