Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to determine if lactulose affects calcium levels in dogs with hepatic encephalopathy due to portosystemic shunts.
- - Seventeen dogs were monitored for changes in total calcium and ionized calcium before and after over three weeks of lactulose treatment.
- - Results showed no significant increase in calcium levels, but a potential link was found between higher lactulose doses and changes in ionized calcium.
Case Summary: A 15-week-old kitten presented with a 1-month history of intermittent generalised tremors and abdominal distension. Hypocalcaemia associated with increased 1,25-vitamin D was consistent with vitamin D-dependent rickets type II. The bone appearance on CT scan was most consistent with the changes typically seen with nutritional secondary hyperparathyroidism and less typical of the changes seen with rickets.
