title: Volume dilution of sodium thiocyanate as a measure of extracellular fluid volume in the horse.
abstract: Volume dilution of sodium thiocyanate as a measure of extracellular fluid volume was determined in 24 normal adult horses and 4 ponies. The method employed yielded highly reproducible results on multiple determinations in individual horses. A highly significant (P less than .001) correlation between thiocyanate space and body weight was demonstrated.
