Background: Intravenous continuous rate infusion (IVCRI) of lispro at a starting dose of 0.09 U/kg/h and the use of 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl) for fluid resuscitation in cats with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) have not been reported. Protocols for correction of electrolyte deficiencies in cats with...

Sodium-glucose cotransporter type-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) reduce glomerular hyperfiltration in diabetic people with early diabetic nephropathy. The objective of this report was to assess changes in glomerular filtration rate in healthy cats after treatment with a SGLT2i. Eight healthy research adult ...

Metabolic acidosis is diagnosed based on the concentration of bicarbonate ions and partial pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood, although acid-base balance (ABB) disorders may also be diagnosed based on the serum ion concentrations in order to determine the values of strong ion difference...

Etheylene glycol (EG) poisoning is highly dangerous in cats and a small dose of it could cause signs which are initially non-specific and may be easily missed. So, our study was preformed to determine the various effects of EG administration on cats. 10 cats of both sexes aging 1-3 years old were...

Disorders of chloride and mixed acid-base disturbances are common in veterinary emergency medicine. Rapid identification of these alterations and the presence of unmeasured anions aid prompt patient assessment and management. This study aimed to determine in dogs and cats if site-specific reference ...

Objective: To evaluate the effect of dorzolamide 2% ophthalmic solution on serum potassium and other hematologic parameters in cats. Materials and methods: Part I: Medical records from a single institution were retrospectively reviewed. Inclusion criteria consisted of cats diagnosed with glaucoma...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of using ethanol (AE) and an aqueous sodium chloride solution 30% (ASCS) in various time periods for the preparation of carcasses of cats for the teaching of surgical techniques. The corpses of 60 cats were used. The specimens were fixed in AE,...

Chloride is the strongest of the major anions in the mammalian body. In conjunction with sodium and potassium, chloride aids in maintaining electroneutrality, serum osmolarity, and conduction of electrical impulses within the body. Chloride is an essential mineral in the diet and is metabolized by...

Objectives: Electrolyte disorders have been individually associated with mortality in small populations of cats with specific conditions, but the associations and interactions between electrolyte disturbances and outcome have not been evaluated in a large, heterogeneous population. It was...

Feline polycystic kidney disease, an autosomal dominant genetic disease (fADPKD), has clinical presentations similar to humans. Clinicopathological features of fADPKD were described associated with hepatic cysts in three cats. In addition, histological examination of cystic livers and analysis of...
