“…However, all measurements of paracetamol represented a reduction in concentration of more than 98%. It was concluded that the addition of dog food to activated charcoal does reduce the total adsorptive capacity, but this is unlikely to be clinically significant in the presence of both the formulation of dog food and the ratio of dog food to charcoal used in this study (Wilson & Humm ). This, however, is only one study looking at only one drug.…”

Toxicology is a vast subject. Animals are exposed to numerous drugs, household products, plants, chemicals, pesticides and venomous animals. In addition to the individual toxicity of the various potential poisons, there is also the question of individual response and, more importantly, of species differences in toxicity. This review serves to address some of the common questions asked when dealing with animals with possible poisoning, providing evidence where available. The role of emetics, activated charcoal and lipid infusion in the management of poisoning in animals, the toxic dose of chocolate, grapes and dried fruit in dogs, the use of antidotes in paracetamol poisoning, timing of antidotal therapy in ethylene glycol toxicosis and whether lilies are toxic to dogs are discussed.

“…Many animals will eat activated charcoal when mixed with food and this does not decrease its efficacy by a clinically relevant level (Wilson and Humm 2013). Voluntary ingestion of activated charcoal is beneficial as it decreases the risk of aspiration associated with syringe administration.…”

Background: There are two types of intoxicated patient that present to veterinary practices: the asymptomatic patient with a known exposure and the patient with clinical signs that may (or may not) be due to a toxin or poison. Deciding when (or if) to treat these patients is often an inexact science and the decision must be made based on numerous risk factors, the owner’s level of comfort with risk and any financial constraints.Aim of the article: This article is the first in a series of four and aims to provide a basic overview of the approach to decontamination of an asymptomatic patient presented with a known intoxication. It also outlines therapies that may be considered in both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients, and these will be discussed in more detail in future articles.
