Chylous abdominal effusion developed 48 hours after surgery.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>TREATMENT AND OUTCOME<\/jats:bold> Postoperative care included supportive treatment, analgesia, and antimicrobials. An abdominal drain was placed during the laparotomy and enabled monitoring of abdominal fluid production. Enteral feeding was provided through an esophagostomy tube. The chylous fluid production rapidly decreased after treatment with octreotide was initiated, and the ferret improved. Chyloabdomen resolved after 8 days of hospitalization and medical treatment.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>CLINICAL RELEVANCE<\/jats:bold> Findings suggested that chylous ascites can potentially develop secondary to blunt abdominal trauma in ferrets. In this ferret, chyloabdomen was successfully treated with octreotide administration and abdominal drainage.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.252.10.1272","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,27]],"date-time":"2018-04-27T13:28:11Z","timestamp":1524835691000},"page":"1272-1278","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Chylous ascites associated with abdominal trauma and intestinal resection-anastomosis in a pet ferret (Mustela putorius furo)"],"prefix":"10.2460","volume":"252","author":[{"given":"Lucile","family":"Chassang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Isabelle","family":"Langlois","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pauline","family":"Loos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mila","family":"Freire","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elizabeth","family":"O'Toole","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1272","reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"Biology and diseases of the ferret","first-page":"235","article-title":"Physical examination, preventive medicine, and diagnosis in the ferret","author":"Marini","year":"2014"},{"key":"ref2","series-title":"Biology and diseases of the ferret","first-page":"157","article-title":"Normal clinical and biological parameters","author":"Fox","year":"2014"},{"key":"ref3","series-title":"Vet Clin North Am Exot Anim Pract","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"115","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cvex.2008.09.001","article-title":"Ferret cardiology","volume":"12","author":"Wagner","year":"2009"},{"key":"ref4","series-title":"(Mustela putorius furo).
