After a pet has been poisoned, quick thinking can save their life, which is why it’s so important for your clinic to have the correct information when presented with an emergency patient. This presentation will cover stabilizing treatments for poisoned patients and common situations and symptoms that require immediate intervention before knowing the toxicity. Toxicity cases from the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center will be provided throughout the presentation as real-world examples of the information discussed.
