Meet Max! Max is a young, mix breed dog who got into a little bit of trouble. He ingested “Tomcat” mouse/rat killer, which is highly toxic to dogs. The toxin in “Tomcat”, called bromethalin, causes severe neurologic disease. Typically, once signs like seizures, muscle tremors, and weakness set in, it is lethal. So, it is very important to decontaminate your patient if you are lucky enough to catch this ingestion soon after 
it happens. Luckily, Max’s owners realized he had eaten this toxin within 10 minutes of him doing so. They rushed Max into the Animal ER in Littleton, Colorado, but needed help purchasing the injection that causes vomiting and the activated charcoal th
at he needed to absorb any toxin left in his system after vomiting. Max did great at the hospital, and so did his owners by rushing him into the ER right away!
