A three-year-old gelding was box walking, sweating, stamping and head pressing. A sample of peritoneal fluid was collected and examined immediately. It was turbid and serosanguineous, and had an NCC of 21 × 109/l and a TP of 43 g/l. Cells seen in a cytospin preparation of the fluid are shown (Wright–Giemsa, ×100 oil).

| What type of fluid is present (fluid classification)? | The elevated TP and NCC indicate an exudate. |

| What is your diagnosis? | Peritonitis/possible torsion. Torsion was found on laparotomy. Note: Reference values for NCCs and classification of effusions in large animals differ from those for small animal specimens. |
