Join us for an in-depth lecture on Common Household Intoxications in Dogs & Cats, tailored for emergency veterinarians navigating toxicology cases in Australian practice. This session will cover the most frequently encountered poisons in household settings, including human medications, rodenticides, toxic foods, and environmental hazards. We’ll discuss early recognition, diagnostic approaches, decontamination strategies, and evidence-based treatment protocols to optimize patient outcomes. With real-case scenarios and practical insights, this lecture aims to enhance clinical decision-making in high-pressure emergency settings.
