Rodenticide Toxicity
Cunoscută și ca: Rodenticide Intoxication, Rodenticide Poisoning, Anticoagulant Rodenticide Toxicity
Pe scurt
Rodenticide poisoning is a common and life-threatening veterinary emergency that occurs when pets ingest rat or mouse bait, leading to severe internal bleeding, neurological damage, or organ failure depending on the chemical involved. Immediate veterinary intervention is critical for survival.
TL;DR. Urgenta care ameninta viata: hemoragie sau insuficienta de organ dupa toxic.

Ce este?
Chemical baits against rats/mice. Classes: anticoagulants (vitamin K block; coagulopathy), bromethalin (neurotoxin; cerebral edema), cholecalciferol (hypercalcemia; renal failure), zinc phosphide (phosphine gas), strychnine (muscle rigidity).
Cauze și factori de risc
Direct bait ingestion; cats also secondary poisoning via prey. Dogs often indiscriminate eaters. Consider blood types if transfusion needed (type B cats).
Semne
- Hemorrhage (cardinal for anticoagulants): epistaxis, hematuria, melena, petechiae (often 2-5 days after ingestion)
- Lethargy, pale mucous membranes, anemia, vomiting (common)
- Respiratory distress, ataxia, tremors/seizures, rigidity, PU/PD (toxin-dependent)
Mucoasele palide semnaleaza pierdere grava de sange.
Cum diagnostichează medicii veterinari
Identify active ingredient from packaging. PT/aPTT, PIVKA, anticoagulant screen, CBC, blood gas, thoracic/abdominal imaging for internal bleeding.
Radiografiile toracice ajuta la identificarea sangerarii interne.
Opțiuni de tratament
Early emesis (e.g. Apomorphine in dogs), Activated Charcoal. Anticoagulants: Phytonadione (vitamin K1) for weeks. Support: oxygen, plasma/blood transfusion.
Prognostic
Anticoagulants: excellent with early decontamination before bleeding; guarded with severe internal hemorrhage. Bromethalin/phosphide/cholecalciferol: guarded to poor after clinical signs.
Prevenire
Prefer traps; secure baits in stations only; keep packaging/photos of ingredients; limit hunting of rodents.
Când sunați medicul veterinar
Grade-5 emergency. Known/suspected ingestion, captured rodent in bait areas, unexplained bleeding, tremors/seizures: go now.
