Clinical signs include nervousness, behavioural abnormalities (aggression, vocalization), decreased activity, panting, pacing, muscle stiffness, fasciculations, cramping and tetany, shifting limb lameness, stiff gait, hyperthermia, facial rubbing and biting at feet (probably due to paraesthesia) and seizures. Neurological signs can be intermittent and sometimes can be triggered by external stimuli or exercise. Differential diagnoses for underlying aetiologies of hypocalcaemia in dogs and cats are listed in Box 4.6. The reader is referred to internal medicine textbooks for further details on diagnosis and treatment of each condition.
