Which of the following steps would be considered LEAST appropriate for addressing the stabilization ABCs and/or the supportive care of a dog showing clinical signs after exposure to a potentially lethal amount of a given toxicant?  

VTTTT Pool #7: Please provide the following information for the two VTTTTs shown in the images above and their associated intoxications: “Plants”/Product Name: Poisons: Patients: Pathogenesis: Problems: Plan: Dx by EET & CCDA. Rx by RFS/SABCs/SC + Extra Bolded Information.

Which of the following is an evolving decontamination/antidotal therapy adapted from human medicine, which involves the use of triglycerides mostly of plant origin and which has shown promise for the treatment of severe canine and feline intoxications associated with some lipophilic/fat soluble xenobiotics, such as those found in marijuana and other THC-containing products, ivermectin dewormers intended for use in horses, permethrin-based insecticides (especially in cats), baclofen, bromethalin, beta-adrenergic blockers, calcium channel blockers, and, potentially, many other toxicants?

The LD50 for 100% Bromethalin in dogs is reported to be 2.4 to 3.7 mg Bromethalin/kg body weight, with a a minimum lethal dosage of 1 mg Bromethalin/kg of body weight being reported by some references. TRUE OR FALSE: If the calculated final Bromethalin dosage is greater than the LD50 for Bromethalin, there is cause to worry, BUT if the calculated final Bromethalin dosage is less than the LD50 for Bromethalin, there is absolutely no cause for alarm. Everything is obviously going to be OK.

  TRUE or FALSE: Methylxanthines are only found in products containing White Chocolate.

Which of the following combination of temperature, pulse, respiratory rate (TPR) findings is abnormal in an adult horse?

Larry arrives at your veterinary clinic with Dogs A and B one hour later. Dog A died 2 minutes after arrival at your clinic. Dog B “might” have vomited several times fifteen minutes before arriving at the veterinary clinic and “might” have experienced one seizure/convulsion in between the episodes of vomiting. Assume Dog B has been removed from the source, as much as is practical at this stage of the present set of circumstances and that an appropriate history has been taken, a thorough physical examination has been performed, and a minimum database of basic hematology and  blood chemistry testing has been completed or is near completion on the blood samples taken immediately after placement of an IV catheter in Dog B and before starting appropriate intravenous fluid  administration to address the apparent dehydration observed in Dog B. NOW, which of the following answers BEST describes the MOST appropriate procedures to be performed and the correct order in which to perform them, with respect to Dogs A and B?
