Ethylene glycol toxicity
– Barbiturates - Pentobarbital
Euthanasia
- A true hernia is defined as having a hernia ring, sac, and contents. Examples: Diaphragmatic – Common in Holstein Friesian, Umbilical - In many cases, umbilical hernia is seen in dogs with concurrent cryptorchidism. Inguinal or scrotal hernias are common in pigs, horses (particularly draft breeds and warmbloods). Signs: inguinal or scrotal swelling to acute colic, vomiting if the intestine is strangulated. Pleuroperitoneal hernias - Hernial sac protrudes into the thorax in the left dorsal tendinous portion of the diaphragm. Peritoneopericardial hernias - embryologic defect in the failure of fusion of the septum transversum during diaphragmatic development, allowing communication between the abdominal cavity and pericardial sac.
Hernias
- Inadequate urinary excretion of ingested potassium. Common with urinary tract obstruction and bladder rupture, and hypoadrenocortism. Signs include, generalized muscle weakness, depression, and cardiac conduction disturbances (Loss of P-waves), and widened QRS. Rx: isotonic saline or isotonic sodium bicarbonate solutions
Hyperkalemia
- Increased bone resorption.
Hyperparathyroidism
- Chronic renal failure is probably the most frequently encountered cause – Malignancy - neoplasia (lymphosarcoma) is the most common cause, followed by Hypoadrenocorticism, primary hyperparathyroidism, and chronic renal failure. In cats, idiopathic hypercalcemia appears to be the most frequent cause of a high total calcium concentration, followed by renal failure and malignancy.
Hypocalcemia
- ventroflexion of the head or recumbency, generalized muscle weakness and depression; decreased GI motility. Rx. Oral administration of 60–120 g of potassium chloride (KCl)
Hypokalemia
