Twelve previously healthy non-geriatric dogs present for acute kidney injury after general anaesthesia for non-emergency surgical procedures in the UK.

Objectives: To characterise common factors after a suspected increase in the incidence of post-procedure acute kidney injury in healthy dogs presenting for non-emergency surgical procedures.

Materials And Methods: Retrospective analysis of the medical records of 12 dogs that presented for acute kidney injury after general anaesthesia for non-emergency surgical procedures.

Results: The 12 non-geriatric dogs re-presented with acute kidney injury at a median of 4 days after surgery to four different veterinary centres, including three multidisciplinary referral practices in the UK.
