Cats are carnivores. The kidney is a vital organ with a variety of tasks. It plays an important role in maintaining the water, electrolyte and acid-base balance, in the excretion of toxic metabolic degradation products such as urea and in the recovery of valuable substances such as glucose, amino acids, peptides and minerals initially filtered out of the blood during ultrafiltration in the ...
Hyperchloremia is an electrolyte disturbance in which there is an elevated level of chloride ions in the blood. [1] The normal serum range for chloride is 96 to 106 mEq/L , [ 2 ] therefore chloride levels at or above 110 mEq/L usually indicate kidney dysfunction as it is a regulator of chloride concentration.

The most commonly recommended viruses to vaccinate cats against are: Feline herpesvirus 1 (FHV-1), a viral cause of feline viral rhinotracheitis, a respiratory infection of cats.
In general, the cause of a hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis is a loss of base, either a gastrointestinal loss or a renal loss [citation needed]. Gastrointestinal loss of bicarbonate (HCO − 3) [citation needed] Severe diarrhea (vomiting will tend to cause hypochloraemic alkalosis) Pancreatic fistula with loss of bicarbonate rich pancreatic fluid
[1] In some cases, a drug can cause the immune system to mistakenly think the body's own red blood cells are dangerous, foreign substances. Antibodies then develop against the red blood cells. The antibodies attach to red blood cells and cause them to break down too early. It is known that more than 150 drugs can cause this type of hemolytic ...
Avian influenza in cats; Bladder cancer in cats and dogs; Bone cancer in cats and dogs; Cancer in cats; Cat worm infections; Cat flu, an upper respiratory tract infection, caused by: Bordetella bronchiseptica [3] Chlamydophila felis; Feline calicivirus [4] Feline viral rhinotracheitis (FVR) [4] FHV-1 [4] Cat-scratch disease; Cat skin disorders
[17] [24] By virtue of working at the last step in triggering vomiting, it can prevent a broader range of stimuli than most antiemetics can. [25] It is effective against emetogens that act at the central nervous system (such as apomorphine in dogs and xylazine in cats), those that act in the periphery (e.g. syrup of ipecac ), [ 14 ] [ 18 ] and ...
