  2. Hypokalemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypokalemia

    Hypokalemia is a low level of potassium (K +) in the blood serum. [1] Mild low potassium does not typically cause symptoms. [ 3 ] Symptoms may include feeling tired , leg cramps , weakness , and constipation . [ 1 ]

  3. Furosemide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furosemide

    Excessive use of furosemide will most likely lead to a metabolic alkalosis due to hypochloremia and hypokalemia. The drug should, therefore, not be used in horses that are dehydrated or experiencing kidney failure. It should be used with caution in horses with liver problems or electrolyte abnormalities.

  5. Electrolyte imbalance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolyte_imbalance

    Excretion is the most common cause of hypokalemia and can be caused by diuretic use, metabolic acidosis, diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperaldosteronism, and renal tubular acidosis. [3] Potassium can also be lost through vomiting and diarrhea.

  6. Hypokalemic periodic paralysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypokalemic_periodic_paralysis

    As a result, the muscle cannot contract efficiently (paralysis). The condition is hypokalemic (manifests when potassium is low; not "causing hypokalemia") because a low extracellular potassium ion concentration will cause the muscle to repolarise to the resting potential more quickly, so even if calcium conductance does occur it cannot be ...

  7. Ileus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ileus

    Ileus is a cause of colic in horses due to functional obstruction of the intestines. It is most commonly seen in horses postoperatively, especially following colic surgery. [ 9 ] Horses experiencing ileus are at risk for gastric rupture due to rapid reflux build-up, and require intense medical management with frequent nasogastric intubation. [ 9 ]

  8. Horse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse

  9. Rhabdomyolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhabdomyolysis

    Horses can develop a number of muscle disorders, many of which may progress to rhabdomyolysis. Of these, some cause isolated attacks of rhabdomyolysis (e.g., dietary deficiency in vitamin E and selenium , poisoning associated with pasture or agricultural poisons such as organophosphates ), while others predispose to exertional rhabdomyolysis (e ...
