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.(AU)
