==Traumatic lesions==
*Physical trauma to the abdomen is very common
*Sequele:
**[[Peritonitis - Pathology|Peritonitis]] if infection is introduced from the external environment or through ruptured gut
**Haemorrhage
**Ureamia
**Dysfunction of organs
**Aquired hernias
[[Hernia, Acquired Diaphragmatic]]
='''Abnormal contents of peritoneal cavity'''=
===Ingesta===
*Commonly found in horses and cattle, less so in pigs, small ruminants, rarely in dogs and cats
*Site of GI perforation or rupture usually easy to find e.g. [[Stomach Rupture|gastric rupture]] in horse and [[Gastric Ulceration - Cattle|perforating abomasal ulcer]] in cattle, before [[Peritonitis - Pathology|peritonitis]] sets in
===Rectal perforation===
*Usually due to accidental damage during rectal examination of horses
*Most tears 25 - 30cm from the [[Anus - Anatomy & Physiology|anus]] on the dorsal aspect
*When muscularis perforated - potential for contamination of the abdomen
===Ruptured uterus===

*In pregnant animals due to trauma, fetuses die and cause [[Peritonitis - Pathology|peritonitis]] if not removed
*Due to closed pyometra
===Post-mortem rupture===
*Putrification may cause rupture of a viscus post mortem
*The margins of the defect are not inflamed nor haemorrhagic
