Standardized peritonitis in the rabbit

  • Published:
Diseases of the Colon & Rectum

Summary

A standardized peritonitis preparation in the rabbit is reported in detail.

Two chronic peritonitis preparations, with average survival periods of 4.3 and 12.7 days, are recorded briefly.

It is believed that these preparations may serve as control groups for further investigation of problems concerning intraperitoneal sepsis.
