Results of the present study suggested that practitioners should consider stress from transportation and environmental change when canine patients have abnormalities of vital signs on initial examination, and the variables in question should be rechecked before a definitive diagnosis of medical illness is reached or extensive further workup is pursued.

Administration of a single 12-mL dose of immune plasma soon after the onset of CPV enteritis in dogs was not effective in ameliorating clinical signs, reducing viremia, or hastening hematologic recovery.

In this population of postoperative dogs breathing either room air or with nasal oxygen insufflation, PaO2 /FiO2 and SaO2 /FiO2 had excellent correlation. Further evaluation into the correlation between SaO2 /FiO2 or pulse oximeter oxygen saturation (SpO2 )/FiO2 with PaO2 /FiO2 in both healthy dogs, and dogs with pulmonary dysfunction is warranted.

This report provides a description of electrolyte disturbances secondary to inadvertent transvaginal retroperitoneal administration of hyperphosphate enemas in 2 crias and attendant clinical signs of these disturbances. Management of hyperphosphatemia and hypocalcemia in 1 cria via aggressive fluid therapy with calcium supplementation led to a rapid and sustained normalization of phosphorus, calcium, and acid-base balance.
