Bathing is the standard method of decontamination for cutaneous exposure to most toxic substances (Rosendale, 2002). The patient should be stabilized prior to bathing. The stimulation of bathing may trigger or exacerbate neurological and cardiovascular signs. People handling the animal should wear protective gloves and aprons. Liquid hand-dishwashing detergents are usually recommended over shampoo as they are more effective at removing lipid soluble substances. Sometimes bathing must be repeated to completely remove the toxin. Clipping may be the best way to remove adhesive substances.
