Plain-English summary
Two cats suffering from severe poisoning after exposure to permethrin, a common insecticide, were treated with a special intravenous lipid emulsion (ILE) along with other supportive care. After receiving decontamination and methocarbamol, both cats showed significant improvement and recovered well without any negative side effects from the ILE. This treatment approach is a new option for managing permethrin toxicity in cats.
