Lucy is a healthy 9 month old Labrador Retriever puppy. Her owners came to the vet because she was experiencing multiple sudden

onset seizures that she never experienced before. Owners stated that it may be possible that she got into something and that a pack of gum is missing from owner's purse. Sugar free gum often contains a toxin called Xylitol.
What could be the potential reason for the sudden onset seizures and how are you going to test or diagnose the patient?

Kidneys are the “filters” of the (_______) system. They remove nitrogenous wastes, water, urea, and excess (______) from the blo
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

There are air filters to purify the air and water filters to clean the water. Well, the kidneys are like a filtering system, too. They contain nephrons, which filter waste from the blood in two stages. First, nephrons take waste as well as needed materials out of blood. Then, the materials the body needs (like water and glucose) are returned to the blood and wastes are eliminated from the body. This is one way the kidneys maintain homeostasis. The kidneys also regulate the amount of water in the body. The amount of water the kidneys return to the blood depends on the conditions inside and outside of the body. This is another way the excretory system maintains homeostasis. For example, you will make more urine on a cool day when you have drunk a lot of water than you will on a hot day when you've hardly had anything to drink.
