Abstract

A commercially available, renal failure diet was used to manage suspected renal failure in a 10-week-old Shetland sheepdog puppy. Rickets subsequently developed, possibly from low phosphorous intake and an increased calcium to phosphorus ratio. Decreased dietary calcium in addition to decreased phosphorus may have played a role in decreasing bone mineral density. Lethargy, decreased long bone growth, angular limb deformity, and osteopenia occurred, but these signs resolved within 3 months with nutritional management.

摘要

采用一种市售的肾衰竭饮食来管理一只10周大的设得兰牧羊犬幼犬的疑似肾衰竭情况。随后出现了佝偻病，可能是由于磷摄入量低以及钙磷比增加所致。除了磷减少外，饮食中钙的减少可能在降低骨矿物质密度方面起到了作用。出现了嗜睡、长骨生长减缓、肢体成角畸形和骨质减少的情况，但通过营养管理，这些症状在3个月内得到缓解。
