The dog presented with severe tachypnoea due to the development of hyperchloraemic metabolic acidosis and associated hypokalaemia that persisted for 7 days. Clinical and biochemical changes resolved with intravenous and subsequent oral supplementation of sodium bicarbonate and potassium. Complete recovery occurred within 9 days of presentation. Conclusion To the authors' knowledge, this is the first case that reports overdosage of an oral carbonic anhydrase inhibitor in a dog and subsequent recovery with adequate supplementation and supportive care.Read More
