Còn gọi là: Rodenticide Intoxication, Rodenticide Poisoning, Anticoagulant Rodenticide Toxicity
Tóm tắt
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.

Là gì?
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).
Nguyên nhân và yếu tố nguy cơ
Direct bait ingestion; cats also secondary poisoning via prey. Dogs often indiscriminate eaters. Consider blood types if transfusion needed (type B cats).
Dấu hiệu cần theo dõi
- 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)

Bác sĩ thú y chẩn đoán thế nào

Lựa chọn điều trị
Early emesis (e.g. Apomorphine in dogs), Activated Charcoal. Anticoagulants: Phytonadione (vitamin K1) for weeks. Support: oxygen, plasma/blood transfusion.
Tiên lượng
Anticoagulants: excellent with early decontamination before bleeding; guarded with severe internal hemorrhage. Bromethalin/phosphide/cholecalciferol: guarded to poor after clinical signs.
Phòng ngừa
Prefer traps; secure baits in stations only; keep packaging/photos of ingredients; limit hunting of rodents.
Khi nào gọi thú y
