Suspected veterinary poisoning cases: A retrospective toxicoepidemiology study (2009-2019) in south-eastern Italy

Abstract

The poisoning of domestic, farm and wild animals is a frequent event as reported in literature [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. One of the most important triggers of animal poisoning has been reported in toxic baits prepared with different substances easily available in many formulations and buyable without any particular restriction [3,7,16]. However, it should not be underestimated accidental ingestion of drug improperly used and stored [17,18].
