This means to treat the clinical signs your patient is exhibiting,
regardless of what information you can obtain.
Focus on the animal: The primary goal is to stabilize and support
the patient's vital functions. This includes managing symptoms like
seizures, respiratory distress, and cardiac arrhythmias.

Dogs exposed to brewing hops, whether fresh, pellet, or spent are at
risk of developing malignant hyperthermia and should be closely
monitored for at least 12 hours.
Consequences of this toxicity can include malignant hyperthermia and
even death.
Hops are toxic to dogs. Even small amounts of hops can cause serious
health problems.
Carvedilol (Coreg) is a nonspecific, lipophilic beta-blocker with
mild alpha-adrenergic blocking properties. Carvedilol is also a
highly potent antioxidant.
Diazepam is useful for controlling mild agitation, as well as
stopping seizures from a variety of toxins. N-Acetylcysteine works
to protect the liver by replenishing glutathione, an antioxidant
that prevents damage from reactive oxygen species. It’s mostly used
for acetaminophen toxicity.
Naproxen is very poisonous to dogs and cats. If ingested, it can
result in severe gastrointestinal ulcers (which can perforate and
rupture the intestines) and acute kidney failure. Ambien can cause
dogs to become lethargic, seem intoxicated and, in some cases, have
dangerously slowed breathing rates. Some dogs can also become
severely agitated after ingesting these drugs.
In fact, in the first couple of months of 2024, APCC reported a 765
percent increase over a 10-year period. Signs of exposure include
depression, ataxia, mydriasis, bradycardia, hypothermia, and urinary
incontinence.
This increased accessibility can unfortunately lead to a higher risk
of pet exposure through accidental ingestion.
