Ten dogs underwent clinical monitoring and laboratory investigations following accidental poisoning with anticoabulant rodenticide products. Hematobiochemical parameters, coagulation profiles and toxicologic analyses of plasma and/or tissues were monitored. In 2 cases necropsy examinations were done.
