TL;DR: The current state of knowledge regarding the physiology and pathophysiology of lactate production and lactic acidosis is summarized; current indications and the utility of measurement in a critical care setting are described; novel applications in the evaluation of cavitary effusions are highlighted; and a guide to the therapy of lactic Acidosis is presented.

TL;DR: The indications for point-of-care emergency ultrasound of dogs and cats in the emergency and critical care setting are discussed, with emphasis on abdominal, pleural, pericardial, and pulmonary evaluation.

TL;DR: A retrospective study was performed to evaluate the sonographic features of gastrointestinal (GI) perforation in dogs and cats and found decreased serosal detail, free air, peritoneal contrast medium, and suspected foreign body findings.
