A one-year-old, female domestic shorthair was presented for septic peritonitis 10 days following a routine ovariohysterectomy and subsequent oral administration of carprofen. Exploratory laparotomy revealed a perforated duodenum which was treated with a gastroduodenostomy (Billroth I) and open abdomen management. Etiology of the duodenal perforation was most likely due to the administration of carprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug approved for oral use in dogs only.
