How Do Veterinary Professionals Diagnose and Treat Pet Poisoning?
Veterinarians diagnose pet poisoning based on the symptoms presented and any known exposure to toxins. Common symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, and seizures. Treatment varies depending on the toxin but may involve decontamination (such as inducing vomiting or administering activated charcoal), supportive care (like IV fluids), and specific antidotes if available. Early intervention is crucial for a positive outcome.
