At AVCI, we don’t just see a bloated tummy as a mere symptom. We thoroughly examine the contents of your pet’s abdominal fluid to ensure comprehensive evaluation.

This is a sample of fluid taken from a dog with ascites via abdominocentesis. The fluid has a certain content that is milky and pinkish, indicating a high fat content and a diagnosis of chylous effusion. Chylous effusion is a rare condition where lymphatic fluid leaks into the abdominal cavity due to an obstruction or damage to the lymphatic system.
