Measurement of metabolic acidosis by micro CO2 system and therapy in dogs with enteritis

Abstract

In this study, ten healthy dogs and twenty with diarrhea at the age of 2-6 months old, totally thirty dogs, from various breeds and sexes were used. The severity of the disease classification and dehydration status in diarrheic dogs were evaluated according to the clinical examination criterias. PH, PCO2, PO2, BE and HCO-3 values using blood gase analyzer and TCO2 values using Harleco analyzer were determined in venous blood samples taken before therapy (0. hour) and at the 24th, 48 th and 72 th hours after therapy in dogs with diarrhea and once in healthy dogs. Changing in acid-base status in dogs with diarrhea were evaluated. Intravenous Ringer’s lactated solution was administered in order to meet the fluid demand and correct the metabolic acidosis. As a result, it was found that micro CO2 system was a practical and reliabl method for determination of TCO2 and Ringer’s lactated solution was able to use for correction of metabolic acidosis and dehydration in dogs with diarrhea

Enteritisli köpeklerde metabolik asidozisin mikro CO2 sistemi ile ölçümü ve sağaltımı

Abstract

Bu çalışmada farklı ırk ve cinsiyette 2-6 aylık 20 ishalli ve 10 sağlıklı olmak üzere toplam 30 köpek kullanıldı. İshalli köpeklerde hastalığın şiddetinin sınıflandırılması ve dehidrasyon durumu klinik muayene kriterlerine göre belirlendi. Sağlıklı köpeklerden bir kez, ishalli köpeklerden ise sağaltım öncesi (0. saat) ve sağaltım sonrası 24., 48. ve 72. saatlerde alınan venöz kan örneklerinden kan gazı analizörü kullanılarak pH, PCO, PO2, BE ve HCO-3; de metabolik asit-baz durumundaki değişiklikler değerlendirildi. Sıvı elektrolit gereksinimini karşılamak ve metabolik asidozisi düzeltmek için laktatlı Ringer solüsyonu iv (intravenöz) uygulandı. Sonuç olarak ishalli köpeklerde TCO2 değerinin belirlenmesinde mikro CO2 sisteminin pratik ve güvenilir bir yöntem olduğu ve laktatlı Ringer solüsyonunun metabolik asidozisin düzeltilmesi ile dehidrasyonun giderilmesinde kullanılabileceği kanısına varıldı
