Handbook of Poisoning in Dogs and Cats 

This handbook will help veterinary clinicians and their staff to
manage cases of poisoning in dogs and cats. It will also help
answer enquiries about potential poisonings received from concerned
pet owners. The content has been compiled from over 15 000 past
cases referred to the Veterinary Poisons Information Service – a
24-hour information service for veterinary surgeons. The VPIS
experience is compared and contrasted with case data and reports
from the literature to provide a comprehensive overview of both
toxicity and management for the agents included.

Each agent, or group of agents, has a separate chapter covering
its effects in either the cat or the dog. In some cases the species
information is combined where the clinical effects and management
are identical. The chapters provide all the information necessary
for the immediate management of a particular poisoning case. This
includes doses at which clinical intervention is advisable and
dosing regimens and indications for any drug therapy required. Thus
the user will be able to access quickly all the information needed
for an emergency situation without having to refer to other
sources.
