Bright is a state of normal response to stimuli; dull is a state of sluggishness wherein the animal exhibits relative indifference to normal stimuli; dummy is a pronounced state of indifference in which the animal does not respond at all to external stimuli, but has the ability to stand and move; and coma is a terminal state of apathy or depression, in which the animal is unconscious and cannot be roused. Blood parameters were compared among groups by using one-way analysis of variance.
BE, base excess of the extracellular fluid; tCO2, total carbon dioxide, HCO3−, bicarbonate; Na+, sodium; Glu, glucose; pCO2, partial pressure of carbon dioxide; Cl−, chloride; K+, potassium; Hct, hematocrit; Hb, hemoglobin; AnGap, anion gap; BUN, blood urea nitrogen.
