Objectives: To compare plasma lactate concentration (PLC) in paired cephalic and jugular blood samples from sick cats. An additional objective was to determine whether hypotensive cats (Doppler blood pressure <90 mm Hg) have a significant difference between cephalic and jugular PLC. Design: Prospective observational pilot study performed from December 2013 to ...
