Interventions for treating poisoning in cats were based on the clinical presentation of animals.
The major clinical signs for these four groups of toxicants were (1) acetaminophen poisoning, which caused oxidative erythrocyte damage (2) muscarinic and nicotinic cholinergic syndrome, which resulted from organophosphate poisoning (3) acute kidney injury, which resulted from intoxication of lily and (4) serotonin syndrome, which resulted from tramadol toxicosis. The toxicant groups included pesticides and household cleaning supplies (organophosphates), human drugs (acetaminophen), plants/plant derivatives (lily), and veterinary drugs (tramadol). Pesticides and household cleaning supplies were the most common causes of poisoning in cats. Of the 748 completed questionnaires, 543 (72.6%) were evaluated. A survey on poisoning in cats was conducted among small animal veterinary practitioners from 2017 to 2018.
This study evaluated the most common toxic agents affecting domestic cats, the clinical signs of toxicity, and the therapeutic approaches for recovery.
