If humans hyperventilate they develop respiratory alkalosis with tingling dizziness and carpopedal spasm Why don't dogs have the same problems when they hyperventilate to control temperature?

Because a dogs respiratory system is different from a humans.
More accurately, dogs don't hyperventilate when they pant. They are breathing at higher frequencies, but they are ventilating dead space in the airways and not increasing gas exchange relative to metabolic rate. The definition of hyperventilation is a decrease in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the blood, which doesn't occur in panting dogs. A more correct term for the increase in ventilation that occurs when dogs pant is hyperpnea.

Ph 7.50 mmhg pco2 30 mmhg and hco3 25 meql what does this mean?
Respiratory alkalosis Respiratory alkalosis
What is the prognosis for respiratory alkalosis?
If the underlying condition that caused the respiratory alkalosis is treated and corrected, there may be no long-term effects.
A patient choking on a hot dog is this respiratory acidosis or respiratory alkalosis?
This is respiratory acidosis. The patient will be unable to perform proper gas exchange due to the obstruction (food). As a result, the carbon dioxide levels will rise, and the pH will drop.
Does alcohol cause acidosis or alkalosis?
alkalosis
What substance would appear in the urine in alkalosis?
The question is phrased incorrectly... it is HPO4 not HOP4. The answer is H2PO4 in the urine in alkalosis.

Respiratory alkalosis Respiratory alkalosis
If a student hyperventilate and is disoriented before an exam are they experiencing acidosis or alkalosis?
The student would be experiencing alkalosis, as he/she is blowing off Co2 which is an acidic gas. This is known as acute alkalosis.
What is the prognosis for respiratory alkalosis?
If the underlying condition that caused the respiratory alkalosis is treated and corrected, there may be no long-term effects.
What type of breathing results in respiratory alkalosis?
Hyperventilation
What would cause metabolic alkalosis to slide into metabolic acidosis?
respiratory alkalosis would cause metabolic acidosis
What occurs when carbon dioxide is eliminated faster than it is produced?
Respiratory alkalosis
When someone breathes rapidly is this respiratory acidosis?
No. If you breathe too fast, you will blow off too much carbon dioxide, and cause respiratory alkalosis, wich is the opposite of respiratory acidosis,
When hyperventilation causes a patient to exhale large amounts of CO2 the blood pH rises in a condition called?
Respiratory Alkalosis.
A patient choking on a hot dog is this respiratory acidosis or respiratory alkalosis?
This is respiratory acidosis. The patient will be unable to perform proper gas exchange due to the obstruction (food). As a result, the carbon dioxide levels will rise, and the pH will drop.
Difference in respiratory movement when hypervetilation in and out of a bag paper?
There isn't any - you're just trapping the CO2 so that alkalosis does not occur.
How does increased ventilation rate affect arterial blood?
It will induce a respiratory alkalosis, as carbon dioxide is washed out of the blood by the increased ventilation rate.
Does alcohol cause acidosis or alkalosis?
alkalosis
