On clinical examination, the dog was dull but responsive and was underweight although the abdomen appeared to be distended. Abdominal palpation revealed a firm cranial abdomen and a fluid thrill consistent with free abdominal fluid. Respiratory effort was increased and lung sounds were harsh bilaterally. Mucous membranes were pink and moist and CRT was <2seconds. Marked hindlimb weakness was present with proprioceptive deficits, although it was difficult to determine whether this was associated with generalised weakness or a neurological deficit.
