Description

Ingestion of human medications and recreational drugs is a common occurrence in small animal practice. There are myriad clinical presentations of toxicosis. This webinar will cover some of the most common clinical syndromes. This includes tips on when to suspect toxicosis is a likely differential diagnosis. Emerging recreational drugs such as synthetic cannabinoids and amphetamines will be highlighted. General principles of treatment will be discussed. Where there are specific treatment options these will be discussed. However, the bulk of treatment is supportive. Decontamination and non-specific treatments will be discussed, with a focus on emerging treatments such as intravenous lipid emulsion. Extracorporeal therapies, an emerging referral option, will also be briefly discussed. Providing good symptomatic care will also be highlighted, focussing on fluid and pharmacologic management. This webinar will cover several case examples.
