VPN Plus+ ExclusiveToxicology: RodenticidesMarch 21, 2025In this session: Jeffery Backus, RVT, CVT, VTS (ECC), explores rodenticide toxicity in small animal veterinary medicine. Rodenticide exposure is a Top-3 call annually for the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center, and a very common presentation to the veterinary hospital. He addresses the three major types that are available on the market, decontamination, toxic doses and LD50’s, treatment, and nursing care, and will also look at other “less toxic” rodenticides. He also discusses how to tell these rodenticides apart, as well as relay exposure—a pet eating a carcass that may have eaten rodenticide.
