Abstract:OBJECTIVE
To determine whether serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25[OH]2D) concentrations are associated with survival and negatively correlate with acute-phase protein (APP) concentrations in ill dogs and cats admitted to nursing care units.
ANIMALS
Client-owned dogs (n = 79) and cats (16) admitted to 2 academic veterinary hospital nursing care units.
METHODS
A prospective cohort study was conducted between August 12, 2019, and October 26, 2021. A diagnostic laboratory mea… Show more
