Poisoning & Toxicity Care
Emergency Poisoning Treatment for Pets | Toxic Ingestion & Snake Bites
Emergency Veterinary Care for Poisoned Pets
Pets are curious by nature, and they sometimes ingest harmful substances such as toxic foods, household chemicals, or venomous bites or deadly virus. Without immediate treatment, poisoning can cause seizures, organ failure, and even death. Venomous snake bites require urgent antivenin administration, and parvovirus can be fatal without advanced immune therapy.
At North Mississippi Pet Emergency, we provide rapid detoxification, IV fluids, antivenin for snake bites, and monoclonal antibody therapy for parvovirus and antidote administration to help pets recover from toxic ingestion.
