Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Toxicology
  • Pharmacology
  • Small Animal Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Methamphetamine, a potent stimulant and Schedule II controlled substance, is rarely used medically but frequently abused.
  • Illicit methamphetamine use can lead to severe toxicosis in animals, posing a significant clinical challenge.

Observation:

  • A case study involving three dogs suspected of malicious methamphetamine poisoning was documented.
  • Clinical signs and outcomes varied, with one dog succumbing to the toxicosis.

Findings:

  • Methamphetamine was identified in the stomach contents of one affected dog, confirming the causative agent.
  • Two dogs recovered following prompt gastrointestinal decontamination and comprehensive supportive care.

Implications:

  • The findings underscore the need for a specific treatment protocol for methamphetamine toxicosis in dogs.
  • Recommended interventions include gastrointestinal decontamination, supportive care, urine acidification, and alpha-adrenergic blocking agents.
