Chylous ascites was diagnosed in 3 dogs. Mesenteric lymphangiography was performed in 2 dogs and helped delineate abnormalities of the lymphatic system. The cause of chylous ascites in each dog appeared to be different. In 1 dog, a ruptured mesenteric lymphatic was identified at surgery. Evidence of abdominal lymphatic obstruction was found in another dog. Chylous ascites in the third dog appeared to be a complication of mesenteric lymphangiography for chylothorax.
3只犬被诊断为乳糜性腹水。对2只犬进行了肠系膜淋巴管造影,有助于明确淋巴系统的异常情况。每只犬乳糜性腹水的病因似乎各不相同。在1只犬中,手术时发现肠系膜淋巴管破裂。在另1只犬中发现了腹部淋巴梗阻的证据。第3只犬的乳糜性腹水似乎是用于治疗乳糜胸的肠系膜淋巴管造影的并发症。
