Rodent poisons
Poisonings caused by rat poison are very common and avoidable. We
do not recommend any of these type products in a home that has dogs and cats as
pets. These products are very attractive to all animals. Even the products that
claim to be "more safe" can be life threatening if ingested in large quantities.
Immediate treatment can prevent life-threatening toxicity.
Molds/Mushrooms/Fungi
Toxicity from molds and fungi are most commonly associated with eating
garbage or contaminated food. Effects of toxins carried in these fungi can cause
a variety of effects ranging from vomiting, diarrhea, tremors, seizures to liver
or other organ failure and death.
Pesticides/Insecticides
