ECC Tips and Tricks: Approach to the Acute Abdomen

Small-animal emergencies can be unpredictable, but preparation can help us to keep calm during a crisis! Swift Referrals' ECC Tips and Tricks Series delivers bite-sized, knowledge-packed sessions to help you think faster and make smarter decisions when every second counts.

Designed for vets who want to refresh their ECC knowledge and sharpen their clinical reasoning, you’ll pick up practical pearls to boost your confidence in triage, stabilisation, and ongoing care, leaving you better equipped for your next critical case!

Acute abdomen in cats and dogs can arise from a wide range of underlying conditions. This session will outline how to identify and assess the key clinical signs, stabilise patients in pain or shock, and apply appropriate first-line emergency treatments. We will also cover how to prioritise diagnostic tests and imaging to determine the underlying cause, as well as when surgical versus medical management is indicated. Finally, we will review practical case examples to consolidate learning and build confidence in approaching these challenging emergencies.
