Prognostic indicators in puppies affected by canine parvoviral enteritis
Serum total magnesium concentrations were higher compared to controls
Canine parvoviral enteritis (CPE) is a common cause of acute, life-threatening enteritis in young puppies. Multiple studies have investigated potential prognostic indicators in puppies affected by CPE, including endocrine, hematological, and biochemical parameters
The aims of this study were (1) to determine the association between ionized calcium (iCa) and/or total magnesium (tMg) and the development of sepsis and (2) to investigate whether iCa or tMg is associated with mortality in puppies with canine parvoviral enteritis (CPE).
This prospective cohort study was performed in 64 client-owned puppies with CPE. Serum iCa and tMg were measured daily from admission until death or discharge. Fifteen ...
