title: Pseudohyperchloremia associated with bromide intoxication in a goat herd.
abstract: Pseudohyperchloremia and a negative anion gap were detected in goats with bromide intoxication. Bromide interferes with ion-specific electrodes, resulting in a falsely increased serum chloride concentrations. Bromide intoxication should be considered in animals with progressive neurologic signs, a high serum chloride value, and a low or negative anion gap.
