For the VTTTT shown above, which TWO (2) of the following statements are TRUE/CORRECT regarding specific plans of action to take in the treatment of the associated intoxication?

Three weeks later, a now almost a seven-month-old, 6.6-pound, male Chihuayorkie, which has not been named yet because he appears to have a “death wish,” is reported to have consumed four (4), one-ounce, bait blocks containing 0.01% Bromethalin approximately only five minutes ago. Since the patient absolutely cannot be brought to the VHC, emesis is induced by the owner, who follows your explicit instructions, and  two (2), seemingly intact, one-ounce bait blocks are vomited up. Since each bait block contains such a  small amount of Bromethalin and the owner’s other dog survived eating another rodenticide-containing bait with just the induction of emesis, the owner is confident that everything will be OK, despite your concerns and recommendations.  Does the “final” Bromethalin exposure dosage exceed the minimal lethal dosage for Bromethalin in the dog, which is reported to be as little as 1 mg bromethalin/kg body weight? NOTE: 1 mg = 0.000035 ounces; 1 kg = 2.2 lb; 1 lb = 16 ounces; and 1% = 10,000 mg/kg of product.
