Acid-base and electrolyte alterations in horses with exertional rhabdomyolysis
Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association
|February 1, 1982
Abstract:
In examination of the acid-base and electrolyte status of 7 horses with acute exertional rhabdomyolysis, the most consistent abnormality was hypochloremia. Metabolic acidosis was not evident in any of the horses. Therefore, the use of sodium bicarbonate in treatment of such disorders may not be indicated in all cases.
