Hypercalcemia and hypermagnesemia are rare in pets, often found incidentally on blood tests. This article reviews causes, signs, and treatments, focusing on addressing the root cause and managing severe cases.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Small Animal Internal Medicine
  • Clinical Pathology

Background:

  • Hypercalcemia and hypermagnesemia are uncommon electrolyte disturbances in small animal veterinary practice.
  • Clinical signs are often nonspecific, leading to diagnosis via routine serum chemistry profiling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss the etiologies, clinical signs, and therapeutic strategies for hypercalcemia and hypermagnesemia in small animals.
  • To provide guidance on managing these electrolyte imbalances, including emergent interventions.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on hypercalcemia and hypermagnesemia in small animals.
  • Synthesis of information regarding diagnostic approaches and treatment protocols.

Main Results:

  • Etiologies vary, and clinical presentation is often subtle.
  • Treatment focuses on addressing the underlying cause and promoting mineral excretion.
  • Severe cases necessitate aggressive supportive care and resuscitation.

Conclusions:

  • Early recognition and prompt management of hypercalcemia and hypermagnesemia are crucial for patient outcomes.
  • A thorough understanding of underlying causes guides effective therapeutic interventions.
