Table 6. Effect of spironolactone treatment (combined 2 mg/kg/day and 4 mg/kg/day) in 10 healthy purpose-bred Beagle dogs using a cross-over study design on select serum biochemistry variables and SAP between baseline (combined D0 and D21) and treatment (combined D7 and D28) at 07:00 (T1; prior to feeding or morning dosing).
Variable | Baseline | Treatment | P-value |
---|---|---|---|

Sodium (mEq/L) | 141.5 (139.8–142.2) | 142.5 (141.0–143.0) | 0.73 |
Potassium (mEq/L) | 4.2 (4.1–4.4) | 4.3 (4.2–4.3) | 0.97 |
BUN (mg/dL) | 12.0 (11.0–13.0) | 11.0 (11.0–12.0) | 0.7 |
Creat (mg/dL) | 0.7 (0.6–0.7) | 0.7 (0.6–0.7) | 1 |
