Puppies have this enzyme elevated due to their growing bones.
ALP
A cat presents to you for severe muscle wasting (2-3/9) and inappetence. You run a renal panel and find a BUN of 66 and creatinine of 1.0. Your first differential is…
CKD
This drug is used first when treating intracellular bacteria.
tetracyclines! more specifically, doxycycline
if someone asks you how to treat ehrlichia, anaplasma, or chlamydia, this is most likely the answer
NOT for intracellular parasites

ALP
Most dogs and cats with AKI develop metabolic ——osis with a wide ————— gap.
acidosis, anion
Kidney disease can cause high levels of phosphate, which can then lead to secondary…
parahyperthyroidism — the high levels of phosphate will decrease calcium, which will activate the parathyroid glands
Abortion in the last stage of pregnancy in cows or orchitis and bursitis in bulls is often associated with this infectious disease.
