The BSAVA/VPIS Poisons Triage Tool provides summaries of information relating to the poisoning of small animals by commonly encountered plants, chemical substances and food items. The aim of the Triage Tool is to provide BSAVA members with a first-stop guide to suspected poisonings in dogs and cats.

For each agent, information is given on toxicology, clinical effects, appropriate first aid and subsequent management and prognosis. This is to enable veterinary surgeons and their staff to give appropriate guidance to clients that suspect their animals may have been poisoned. A 'Traffic Light' system indicates the level of concern and urgency.

To access the Triage tool you must be a member of the BSAVA Members and will require your online login details.
