Resumo
The prevalence of hypocalcemia and hypomagnesemia was evaluated in horses with gastrointestinal diseases. For that, 12 animals were examined at the UVV Veterinary Hospital. Age and gender of the animals, as well breed clinical diagnosis, adopted therapy and outcomes were recorded. Serum determinations of total calcium and magnesium were done on the day of admission and during the period of hospitalization. They revealed the presence of low levels of calcium and magnesium. The comparison between survivals and non-survivals on the admission day had shown a significant result only for serum calcium.(AU)
