Abstract

The aim of this work was to establish reference values of the fractional excretion (FE) of calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P) and magnesium (Mg) in dogs, proposing a methodology for their obtention. The dogs were divided into groups SS: standard diet and CS: standard diet plus calcium supplement for 10 days. We observed increased plasma concentration of P, both fasting and postprandial, in CS respect to SS. More FECa in CS respect to SS in fasting and postprandial. SS showed a lower FEP and FEMg in fasting than postprandial, parameters that were stabilized in CS. (p<0.01). Thanks to the proposed methodology and the associated analysis of minerals we can see the lack of calcium in SS group despite having EFCa values that are at the bibliography.
