Rodenticides are one of the most common toxin exposures we see in veterinary medicine. Last month I covered anticoagulant rodenticides, which are the easiest to treat. Now we will touch base on the other two classes of rodenticides—cholecalciferol and bromethalin. These two types of rodenticides are not easy to treat like the anticoagulants. These are newer generation poisons that can cause serious harm to pets if not treated quickly.
