Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Rick Bin in Hospital

glad to hear Rick made it through surgery ok !! Do for sure make sure he has access to the web!

several have asked: the peritoneum is the lining of the abdominal cavity. Peritonitis is an inflammation and/or infection of the same. It can become so in numerous ways but in Rick's case (based on Terah's post) it sounds like there may have been a perforation or leakage of part of the intestinal tract, thus allowing bacteria into the normally sterile abdomen.

it is common in dogs because they tend to eat things that perforate the intestine. happens to all species though.

we're pullin' for you Rick !! hope to be kept aprised of your progress. my family wishes you the best!
