Abstract
This article focuses on the regulatory issues to consider when veterinarians are called upon to treat animal toxicoses, in particular those involving food-producing animals. The lack of Food and Drug Administration-approved drugs to treat animal toxicoses has been a long-standing problem. This article reviews extralabel drug use regulations, and the responsibilities of the treating veterinarian. It discusses the legal implications of compounding and the use of unapproved drugs to treat animal toxicoses. Efforts should be made to increase the availability of life-saving antidotal therapies.
