Hyperaldosteronism results from the excessive secretion of aldosterone, a mineralocorticoid hormone produced in zona glomerulosa of the adrenal glands. This leads to the abnormality of electrolyte metabolism. In dogs, cats and humans, aldosteronism may be primary or secondary. In primary...

Canine parvovirus (CPV) infection remains as a major threat to canine practitioners as well as pet owners as it requires intensive care for at least seven days and is associated with a high rate of fatality.
