Veterinary toxicologists Dr. Bischoff and Dr. Puschner will join Drs Hovda and Magdesian to discuss approaches to the poisoned, critically ill equine patient with special focus on phytotoxins of Acer spp (maple, box elder, sycamore), botulism, pyrrolizidine alkaloids (e.g. Senecio spp), macrocytic lactones (e.g. ivermectins), and NSAIDS. We will include current knowledge about the effective use of decontamination procedures, availability of antidotes, and diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
