Abstract:
A 2-year old cross-breed dog presented due to acute vomiting and progressive lethargy following ingestion of the owner's anti-gout medication (colchicine, 0.35 mg/kg) 1-3 hours prior to presentation. The dog developed signs of all 3 stages of colchicine poisoning (gastrointestinal phase, multi-organ phase, recovery phase) and the clinical course was complicated by the presence of multi-organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and numerous negative prognostic factors. This case report describes the clinical and laboratory effects of colchicine poisoning and represents the first successful treatment of an accidental colchicine ingestion in a dog in Europe.
