ABSTRACT
Values of sodium, ionized calcium, potassium and chloride obtained by ion-selective electrode method, from serum and blood samples of healthy cats, were compared. Serum ionized calcium value was lower (5.2mg/dl) than blood ionized calcium (5.4mg/dl), and serum potassium (4.47mmol/l) and serum chloride (117.2mmol/l) values were higher than blood potassium (3.94mmol/l) and blood chloride (115mmol/l).
