Abdominal Cavity Inflammation in Cats

Peritonitis in Cats
 
The abdominal cavity is lined with a thin, watery membrane, called the peritoneum. When the cat's abdominal cavity, also called the peritoneal cavity, is injured, the peritoneum becomes inflamed. The severity of the inflammation depends on the type of injury the peritoneal cavity has undergone. Peritonitis is frequently a painful condition, and the cat will respond when it is touched on its abdomen.
 
Peritonitis can affect both dogs and cats. To learn more about how it affects dogs, please visit
