The prognostic value of point-of-care blood glucose and lactate in canine and feline pyothorax: a retrospective analysis
In dogs with pyothorax, admission POC blood lactate concentration may serve as valuable prognostic tool to guide clinical management decisions, and an increased band neutrophil count is associated with poorer outcomes. Further large-scale studies are needed to confirm these findings.
