Levamisole toxicosis in a dog.

R D Montgomery, G L Pidgeon

    Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association
    |September 15, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    A dog experienced adverse effects, including bradycardia and cerebrocortical depression, after a single oral dose of levamisole hydrochloride. These symptoms required four days of supportive care, highlighting levamisole toxicity risks.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Pharmacology
    • Toxicology
    • Canine Medicine

    Background:

    • Levamisole hydrochloride is an anthelmintic and immunomodulator used in veterinary medicine.
    • Levamisole toxicosis in dogs has been previously documented with various clinical signs.
    • Understanding the full spectrum of levamisole's effects in canines is crucial for safe usage.

    Observation:

    • A single oral dose of 12 mg/kg levamisole hydrochloride was administered to a dog.
    • The dog exhibited bradycardia, tachypnea, hypothermia, cerebrocortical depression, and diarrhea.
    • Electroencephalography (EEG) was used to further characterize neurological abnormalities.

    Findings:

    • The observed clinical signs, including gastrointestinal and cardiovascular abnormalities, are consistent with levamisole toxicosis.
    • EEG revealed cerebrocortical depression and multiple foci of irritation, expanding the known neurological effects.
    • The dog required four days of intensive supportive and symptomatic treatment, particularly for bradycardia.

    Implications:

    • This case expands the understanding of levamisole hydrochloride's toxicological profile in dogs.
    • Electroencephalography provides valuable insights into the central nervous system effects of levamisole toxicity.
    • Awareness of these comprehensive clinical and electroencephalographic findings is vital for veterinary practitioners managing levamisole exposure in dogs.
