Introduction Clinical abnormalities secondary to hypercalcemia are common presenting complaints to small animal practices. Cancer is the leading cause of hypercalcemia in dogs, diagnosed in about 58% to 66% of dogs with hypercalcemia. 1 , 2
A cute pancreatitis (AP) is often deemed idiopathic; however, limited research into the etiology of pancreatitis has been performed in dogs and this may limit the detection of underlying causes. 1 One proposed underlying etiology is hypercalcemia
extracellular ionized calcium concentration in cats. The purpose of the study reported here was to characterize the dynamics of calcitonin secretion in response to experimentally induced hypercalcemia and the related changes in extracellular ionized calcium
arrhythmias, and death. 10 Hypomagnesemia has been associated with increased fatalities in human and equine patients. 7,11 Although limited information is available on hypocalcemia and hypomagnesemia in sick horses, less is known about hypercalcemia in
, 3 Increased calcitriol results in negative feedback to inhibit PTH synthesis. 1 , 3 Hypercalcemia suppresses PTH and upregulates calcitonin secretion to inhibit osteoclastic bone resorption. 1 , 3 Hyperparathyroidism is often characterized by
