SOME ASPECTS REGARDING PHOSPHOCALCIC DISMETABOLIA AT THE DOG

M. Condrea

Abstract
During 2007-2008 paraclinical tests were used to investigate some aspects regarding the etiopathogenesis and diagnosis of phosphocalcic dismetabolia at the dog. Five cases were selected out of 3: two of them with juvenile osteomalacia, one with osteomalacia, one with bone tumour and one with hypocalcemic tetany. The results showed variations of calcemia, phosphotemia, phosphatasemia and magnesiamia. The cases with juvenile osteomalacia and osteomalacia show a hypophosphatemia, hypomagesemia and hyperphosphatasemia. In the bone tumour there is a hypercalcemia with dicrease of phosphatemia, magnesemia and phosphatasemia. The results obtained after administering vitamin D show the complexity of phosphocalcic dismetabolia etiopathogenesis.

Key words: phosphocalcic dismetabolia, calcemia, phosphatemia, vitamin D
