Lipid emulsion – also referred to as intravenous lipid emulsion (ILE), lipid resuscitation therapy, intravenous lipid emulsion rescue and intravenous fat emulsion – is known as a component of parenteral nutrition (ILE 30 per cent).

The aim of this short review is to examine the scientific data on ILE in the management of toxicosis in dogs and cats, and to outline sound recommendations on its use, based on available understanding.
An underdeveloped film can be recognised by examining the exposed background outside the area of the patient’s body. In a well-exposed and well-developed film, this should be black and when the film is held against light, it should be difficult to see the fingers of a hand behind the film. Underdeveloped films show a

In veterinary medicine, aggressive decontamination is the mainstay therapy for poisoned patients. If emesis is warranted, the use of appropriate, effective, safe emetic agents is imperative. Emetic agents typically work by causing local gastric irritation and/or stimulating the central nervous system chemoreceptor trigger zone (CRTZ).1,2 Emesis sho...
Gastric lavage is indicated for poisoned patients in certain situations,1,2but veterinarians rarely perform gastric lavage as it is more labor intensive than induction of emesis. Canine studies have shown that, when gastric lavage was performed within 15 minutes after toxicant ingestion, recovery of the ingested material was poor (38%; range, 2%–69...
Hypernatremia has been anecdotally reported in poisoned patients secondary to activated charcoal (AC) administration.4While uncommon, secondary hypernatremia can be severe and mimic clinical signs of worsening toxicosis. Clinical signs of ataxia, head pressing, worsening lethargy, tremors, or obtundation may actually be due to hypernatremia rather ...
Intravenous lipid emulsions (ILE), also known as intravenous fat emulsions (IFE), have been used in human and veterinary medicine as part of total or partial parenteral nutrition for several decades. ILE also has been used as a vehicle for drug delivery for emulsions (eg, propofol) and, more recently, it has been recommended as a potential antidote...
The use of new and updated approaches to therapy in veterinary toxicology may dramatically improve the overall outcome in toxicities that have been previously associated with a high morbidity, mortality, and cost. However, extra-label use should be judicious, and appropriate case selection, along with continuous supportive care, is imperative in cr...
Tremorgenic mycotoxins are metabolites produced by fungi that cause neurotoxicosis in dogs. While several fungal metabolites may cause this intoxication, current research supports penitrem A as the primary mycotoxin involved.
Jan 9, 2018 · With this test, normal tear production in dogs ranges from 29-38mm wetting/minute. Qualitative tear film deficiencies refer to deficiencies in the stability of the tear film, caused by a deficiency in the lipid and/or mucin layer.
