Published in: JFMS open reports (2024)
Treatment of OP toxicity in cats is sparsely reported in veterinary literature. Current standards of treatment and published protocols recommend the use of atropine sulfate as intermittent boluses for the treatment of muscarinic signs of toxicity; however, there is a paucity of information regarding the safety and efficacy of atropine sulfate as a CRI for severe toxicosis as described in humans. This report includes the first published case using such a treatment protocol in a cat.
