Rodenticides.

Rodenticides are second only to insecticides in the prevalence of pesticide exposure. Hundreds of rodenticide products currently exist, yet only a handful of them are involved in most toxicoses of companion animals. The most commonly reported toxicoses in the United States are those caused by anticoagulant rodenticides, bromethalin, cholecalciferol, strychnine, and zinc phosphide. The pathophysiologic findings, diagnosis, and treatment of each of these five rodenticides are discussed.
