Strychnine has been used as pest control of rodents and other animal species worldwide. Its sale has been restricted or banned without special permits in several countries. However, malicious and less commonly accidental or secondary (from ingestion of strychnine-poisoned rodents) poisonings of companion animals still occurs (Berny et al., 2010). The toxic dose in most animals ranges from 0.3 to 1.0 mg/kg with the lethal dose being 2.0 mg/kg in cats.
