    The dog's body weight should be determined and calculated once every two weeks using weight scale. [48] The daily caloric requirement by the dog's body and BCS should also be determined using a scale as part of dietary management in maintaining average body weight. The protein intake by the dog should also be considered and checked twice a month.

  3. Hypoproteinemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoproteinemia

    Nutritional hypoproteinemia is due to severe limitation of protein intake in the diet. An example of nutritional hypoproteinemia is Kwashiorkor, a type of protein energy malnutrition affecting young children. Malabsorption, often caused by celiac disease or inflammatory bowel disease. Liver disease can also cause hypoproteinemia by decreasing ...

  4. Proteinuria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proteinuria

    Proteinuria. Proteinuria is the presence of excess proteins in the urine. In healthy persons, urine contains very little protein, less than 150 mg/day; an excess is suggestive of illness. Excess protein in the urine often causes the urine to become foamy (although this symptom may also be caused by other conditions).

    Parinaud's syndrome is a constellation of neurological signs indicating injury to the dorsal midbrain. More specifically, compression of the vertical gaze center at the rostral interstitial nucleus of medial longitudinal fasciculus (riMLF). It is a group of abnormalities of eye movement and pupil dysfunction and is named for Henri Parinaud [ 6 ...

    Horizontal optokinetic nystagmus. The optokinetic reflex ( OKR ), also referred to as the optokinetic response, or optokinetic nystagmus (OKN), is a compensatory reflex that supports visual image stabilization.

    Measuring the amount of protein in the urine helps to distinguish between different causes of proteinuria. [152] [153] Urine protein electrophoresis, which identifies and measures the proportions of different types of protein in the urine, may be used to investigate the cause of proteinuria [152] and to detect Bence-Jones protein.
