(Dependent & Independent Variables is the fourth and final post in a series on electrolytes and how they influence acid-base chemistry) From a clinical evaluation standpoint, it’s fairly easy to gain insights into an animal’s acid-base status from a blood… Continue Reading
What They Are and How They Affect Acid-Base Regulation (Alkalinizing Agents is the third in a 4-part series on electrolytes and how they influence acid-base chemistry) Earlier in this series, we saw that strong ions fully dissociate from other substances… Continue Reading
The Role of Water in Acid-Base Regulation (Dissociation of Strong Ions is the second in a 4-part series on electrolytes and how they influence acid-base chemistry) A curious thing about electrolyte ingredients is that even though they are listed on… Continue Reading
(Electrolyte Product Comparisons is the first in a 4-part series on electrolytes and how they influence acid-base chemistry) Electrolyte product comparisons show up in articles and publications from time to time, and are typically based on information found on the label of each… Continue Reading
Milk replacer manufacturers can no longer produce products containing the familiar 2:1 ratio of Neomycin to Oxytetracycline. The old ratio of 2 parts Neomycin to 1 part Oxytetracycline has been replaced with a 1:1 combination of Neo-Oxy. This 1:1 antibiotic… Continue Reading
