title: Management of toxicoses.
abstract: This article provides information on the detoxification of and supportive care for poisoned animals. Involved are measures to control life-threatening manifestations of toxicoses, to remove agents from the digestive tract, skin, or eyes, and to promote removal of systemically absorbed toxicants. The use of these methods is often of paramount importance in an effort to limit organ damage and to enable a poisoned animal to survive.
