Plain-English summary
Ten dogs were monitored after accidentally ingesting rat poison, which is a type of anticoagulant rodenticide that can cause serious health issues. The dogs underwent various tests to check their blood and overall health, including how well their blood could clot. In two cases, further examinations were performed after the dogs passed away. The study highlights the dangers of these poisons and the importance of quick veterinary care if a dog is suspected of eating rat poison.
