Thus, alkaline tide is self-limited and normally lasts less than two hours.
2.
A more pronounced alkaline tide results from vomiting, which stimulates hyperactivity of gastric parietal cells to replace lost stomach acid.
3.

4.
Post-prandial alkaline tide has also been shown to be a causative agent of calcium oxalate urinary stones in cats, and potentially in other species.
5.
