This study investigated 48 cases of cavitary effusions in small animals, including 22 dogs and 26 cats, analyzed at UFRRJ’s Small Animal Veterinary Hospital. Effusion classification, based on biochemical and cytological analyses, revealed a predominance of exudates in both species. Significantly, chronic hemorrhage emerged as the primary cause of fluid accumulation in exudates across both species, with acute or iatrogenic hemorrhage predominating in dogs. In cats, fluid accumulation was more frequently associated with lymphoma, followed by Feline Infectious Peritonitis. The analysis of cavitary effusions proved crucial in elucidating the underlying causes, encompassing infectious, neoplasms, and other alterations.
