  • Title: Hypercalcemia and hypermagnesemia.
    Author: Martin LG.
    Journal: Vet Clin North Am Small Anim Pract; 1998 May; 28(3):565-85. PubMed ID: 9597715.
    Abstract:
    Hypercalcemia and hypermagnesemia occur infrequently in small animal patients. Specific clinical signs usually do not accompany these electrolyte disorders, and their presence is often recognized only after reviewing serum chemistry profile results. The etiologies, clinical signs, and therapies for each electrolyte disorder are discussed in this article. Treatment of these disorders is aimed at correcting the underlying disease process and enhancing the removal of calcium or magnesium from the body. In severe cases, rescue therapies and resuscitative measures are required to stabilize the patient.
