Dogs with untreated Addison's disease have complex acid-base derangements. The semiquantitative approach to acid-base analysis provides greater insight into the underlying mechanisms of metabolic acid-base abnormalities in these dogs, particularly because lactic acidosis appears to be a minor influence in most cases.
