Abstract
The peritoneal fluid from six female health donkeys was evaluated. In each animal, it was carried out eight abdominocentesis with 40x12 needles, at 72-hour intervals. All animals presented clinical changes, and there was higher frequency of yellow-tinged fluid with turbidity aspect. Means, and respective standard deviations, for cytology and protein concentration were: erythrocytes, 24.7±11.7x10³/mm³; leukocytes, 15.8±6.79x10³/mm³; mesothelial cells, 3.85±1.30x10³/mm³; neutrophils, 10.9±4.51x10³/mm³; lymphocytes, 1.41±0.51x10³/mm³; macrophages, 0.98±0.55x10³/mm³; eosinophils, 2.48±1.36x10³/mm³, and total proteins, 1.97±0.31 g/dl.
