Rupture of the urinary tract causes '''urine''' to spill into the abdomen producing a '''uroabdomen'''.  As with bile, the urine irritates the peritoneum after 48-72 hours and causes inflammation but it is likely that the animal will show marked clinical signs of stranguria, anuria and depression before this time.  If the urinary tract is infected at the time of rupture, a septic peritonitis may develop.
