2015 ACVIM Forum Research Abstract Program

There was interaction between the groups (P = 0.002). For v 1,5 the groups 2 and 3 had lower values than in group 1 (P = 0.012 and 0.002), with values of 2.0 AE 0.3, 1.6 AE 0.2 and 3.1 AE 0.4 m/ s, respectively. Groups 2 and 3 had lower values in v 2.0 than in group 1 (P = 0.013 and 0.002), with values of 2.4 AE 0.3 m/s, 2.0 AE 0.2 m/s and 3.6 AE 0.5 m/s. It 0 s possible determinate the lactate threshold in dogs and the later stages of DMVD need more of the anaerobic pathway contribution to support the physical effort. Sudden cardiac death in the young dog has been previously reported in the German Shepherd Dog and English Springer Spaniel. We identified four related young Rhodesian Ridgebacks who died suddenly between 7 and 12 months of age. Two of them died while sleeping, and two died after very brief periods of exercise or excitement.
