Poisoning cases are a common presentation in small animal practice, but not every patient requires the same approach. Effective management relies on carrying out an appropriate risk assessment, tailoring treatment to the individual patient and avoiding common pitfalls that can lead to unnecessary or inappropriate interventions. When the toxic agent is unknown, making informed decisions can be particularly challenging.
