From gut leak to survival: Evolving clinical strategies and insights in canine septic peritonitis

02 juin 2026 | 20:00-21:00 | Webinaire

Canine and feline septic peritonitis is where physiology, surgery, and time pressure collide. This webinar takes you from the moment you suspect a gut leak to the postoperative decisions that determine survival. Using real cases and clear outcome measures, we’ll align evidence with what actually works in practice: when to explore vs stabilise, achieving source control without escalating surgical stress, and how to support the body’s own healing during the perioperative period.

What you’ll learn:

A stepwise approach to diagnosis and triage (what matters in the first hours).
Operate now or later? Decision points for exploratory laparotomy and damage-control surgery.
Source control essentials: gastric/intestinal repair, resection–anastomosis, and contamination management.
Drains, lavage, or open abdomen: when they help—and when they hurt.
Postperative monitoring, nutrition, and preventing common complications.
