Book Description

This handbook will help veterinary clinicians and their staff to manage cases of poisoning in dogs and cats. It will also help answer enquiries about potential poisonings received from concerned pet owners. The content has been compiled from over 15 000 past cases referred to the Veterinary Poisons Information Service - a 24-hour information service for veterinary surgeons. The VPIS experience is compared and contrasted with case data and reports from the literature to provide a comprehensive overview of both toxicity and management for the agents included. Each agent, or group of agents, has a separate chapter covering its effects in either the cat or the dog. In some cases the species information is combined where the clinical effects and management are identical. The chapters provide all the information necessary for the immediate management of a particular poisoning case. This includes doses at which clinical intervention is advisable and dosing regimens and indications for any drug therapy required. Thus the user will be able to access quickly all the information needed for an emergency situation without having to refer to other sources.

Book Description

This time-saving, pocket-size guide offers a thorough understanding of toxicology that is essential to diagnosing and treating the complex problems resulting from toxin ingestion, a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in animals. The 2nd edition covers patient assessment and treatment techniques, as well as information on over 100 categories of toxic agents. Discussions of each agent include its uses, mechanism, pathophysiology, clinical signs, diagnosis, common products containing the agent, and acute and long-term treatment. A new avian section makes this edition even more comprehensive and clinically useful. Over 1,000 toxic agents are discussed, offering a thorough presentation of toxicology relevant to veterinary practice. An easy-to-use alphabetical organization with section tabs for quick reference makes information easy to locate in any setting. Detailed diagnostic and treatment information is presented in an appealing, visually accessible approach. A greater emphasis on the ingestion of human medications addresses this common concern in detail. Additional plant and chemical toxins are discussed to highlight potential poisonings seen in veterinary practice. A new avian section focuses on specific considerations for treating birds. Redesigned icons draw attention to important points and sections to improve the text's readability. A four-page, full-color insert features approximately 24 color photographs of poisonous plants for quick identification. All content has been reviewed by board-certified toxicologists to ensure that it is up-to-date and accurate. A second color throughout makes the icons more readable, the design more inviting, and critical information more accessible.
