Rabbits were divided into dental, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, and urologic disease model groups and one clinically healthy group. Venous and arterial blood gas analyses were performed with a point-of-care blood gas analyzer, i-Smart 300 VET Blood Gas Analyzer (i-SENSE, Korea). The reference intervals for the blood gas results were established. Reference intervals for each diseased group were compared with a clinically healthy control group to analyze the disease's effect on blood gas values.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Several acid-base and electrolyte derangements were confirmed.
