Treatment includes induction of emesis (in mildly affected animals with no seizures and toxin ingestion <3 h), gastric lavage (toxin ingestion >3 h, ingestion of large volumes), activated charcoal (Table 4.1), methocarbamol for muscle tremors, AEMs (see Table 4.1 and Chapters 12 and 24), fluid therapy to correct metabolic acidosis, convective whole body cooling (e.g. wetting the fur, fan) and respiratory support. General anaesthesia may be necessary in animals that do not respond to AEMs (see Chapter 24). After the acute clinical signs have been controlled, treatment must focus on minimizing possible liver damage in dogs.
