Abstract

Veterinarians commonly prescribe medications to treat a variety of companion animal clinical conditions. Many pet medications are pharmacologically the same product prescribed for human use. We report 2 cases in which pet medications were used for self poisoning. Obtaining a pet history may provide critical information in the assessment of a patient with a suspected overdose.
