Poisoning in animals

Please contact your veterinary practice.

If you call us, we will be happy to give you information on the risk to your animal and simple emergency first-aid measures. This may in individual cases mean we recommend your animal is seen by a vet.We thank you for your understanding that we only provide information on specific therapeutic measures directly to veterinary institutions. This is also how we operate in cases of human poisoning.

Further information is available on the specialist site  CliniTox (website of the Institute of Veterinary Pharmacology and Toxicology, Zürich).
