8. The quintessential collection on veterinary fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base disorders. A good balance between basic information and supporting details that link the underlying research.
9. An excellent review of lactate metabolism, types A and B lactic acidosis, and treatment of hyperlactatemia.
10. A fun and eclectic discussion of lactic acidosis with great clinical application. Includes many good references to human and veterinary studies that describe the clinical relevance of sustained elevations in plasma lactate.
11. A good review of lactic acid pathophysiology from the physician's perspective, with a discussion of therapies that directly address lowering the hydrogen ion concentration.
12. A very interesting case report of a cat with encephalopathy and gastrointestinal disease. Also provides a nice review of d-lactic acidosis.
13. A wonderful book with large graphics that includes normal and abnormal pathways and a discussion of the pathophysiology behind the biochemistry. A great reference to have on hand when you need a reminder of what is happening at the biochemical level.
14. A good veterinary clinical pathology reference. Includes an excellent basic review of both traditional Henderson-Hasselbalch acid-base physiology and also a discussion of strong ions.
