Veterinarians are constantly concerned about toxins that can harm their animal patients. This course will cover toxins that cause more severe poisonings in pets, including those that are fast acting, cause significant or life-threatening clinical signs, or are complicated to manage. Agents discussed will include ethylene glycol, baclofen, cholecalciferol, 5-fluoruracil, 5-HTP, and amlodipine. Mechanisms of toxicity, clinical signs, diagnosis, and treatment will be discussed.
