Abstract
In clinical medicine, evaluation of acid-base balance can be a valuable diagnostic and monitoring tool. Blood gas machines need very small volumes of blood and provide immediate results, making them ideal for use in the emergency room and intensive care setting. This review outlines the stepwise approach to assessment of acid-base balance in dogs, common causes of acid-base abnormalities, and the general approach to treatment.
