KW  - TOXICITIES FROM ILLICIT AND ABUSED DRUGS IN CATS AND DOGS
N2  - Toxicities fromillicit and abused substances in pet animals by accidental, intentional ormalicious ingestion, are an occasional problem in veterinary practice; wherethe difficulties of clinical diagnosis and the possible lack of good ofanamnesis (owners may provide inaccurate, incomplete, deceive misleadinghistory) creates a higher risk for the survival. In these cases, animals areusually presented to the veterinary clinics once the clinical signs areapparent. Veterinarians are obliged to report legal authorities when the animalis diagnosed with these drugs; whereas it is usually missed. Dogs that work forpolice and customs are at an increased risk of illicit drug intoxication.Diagnostically, available test kits may help exclude a suspected case inclinics/animal hospitals; meanwhile for the detection of exact amount ofexposure, veterinary diagnostic laboratories are required. Whereas, veterinarytoxicology laboratories including the broader spectrum of drugs with speciesspecific differences (specific metabolites) are missing in our country, whichwould expected to serve practicioners in the field. Among the illicit andabused drugs, a discussion of the more common poisonings for dogs and catsincluding amphetamine/amphetamine-like compounds, sedative/hypnotics, opioids,ketamine, marijuana, synthetic cannabinoids, cocaine, heroin, MDMA,hallucinogens (LSD, mushroom) with their pharmacokinetics, toxicity,pathogenesis, clinical findings diagnostics along with the species specifictreatment options are presented. The general opinion, regarding the mirrorapproaches for the diagnostics/treatment of illicit/abused drugs in humans forpets, should be converted into a more species specific approach with anemphasis in veterinary toxicology.
