مستخلص: This article reviews the history of clinical hypocalcemia and the evolving definition of subclinical hypocalcemia, targeting a concept for consideration that not all hypocalcemia is negative. With a goal of presenting bovine practitioners information to assist with individual animal hypocalcemia diagnosis and treatment as well as herd-level monitoring and prevention, we present current methods of direct calcium measurement, therapeutic interventions for clinical hypocalcemia, and postpartum calcium supplementation options and their efficacy. We encourage veterinarians to understand calcium dynamics in the immediate postpartum period and evaluate how individual cow therapy and herd prevention protocols can assist with supporting calcium regulation.
