Rodenticides have been a critical tool in rodent control, but their use poses significant risks to domestic animals, particularly dogs. This case report details the successful medical management of a 3-year-old female Labrador that ingested a second-generation anticoagulant rodenticide, Bromadiolone, found in Mortein Power grad rat kill cake. Clinical examination revealed rapid breathing, hypersalivation, and tachycardia. The dog was treated with a subcutaneous dose of Menaphthone Sodium bisulphite (Kapilin), a vitamin K analog that counteracts the effects of Bromadiolone. Following treatment, the dog's condition stabilized, with normalization of breathing and reduction of hypersalivation within two hours. This case underscores the importance of prompt antidotal therapy and supportive care in managing rodenticide toxicity in dogs.
